Rare and highly elaborate 19th century style Vampire Hunting Kit attributed to Professor Blomberg, a name frequently associated with gothic folklore and supernatural-themed curiosities. Housed in a fitted period-style case, the set contains a wide assortment of tools and religious items traditionally associated with vampire lore and Victorian-era fascination with the occult.
The kit includes a brass-barrel pistol, silver-handled dagger, sharpened yew wood stake, Holy Rosary, Bible, holy oil, consecrated ground vial, and Professor Blomberg’s “newly developed” vampire serum. Also included are additional period-style accessories and instruments arranged within the compartmentalized interior. One small vial formerly associated with the set is no longer present, having been lost over time.
Vampire hunting kits have become one of the most recognizable and collectible categories of gothic and supernatural memorabilia, inspired by 19th century folklore, Victorian spiritualism, and later literary traditions surrounding Dracula and vampire mythology. Examples of this style remain highly sought after as conversation pieces and display items due to their dramatic presentation and unusual subject matter.
