Wow.

Hey, Rick.

What?

Check this out.

What we got here?

Vampire defense.

Kitt, All right.

It looks like a real kid for killing vampires, and these things aren't supposed to exist.

Look, you can't see yourself in the mirror.

I have a vampire defense, kid.

I think the vampire defense kids over 100 years old.

My grandpa got it in 1960 and then I got it when he passed away.

This is truly one of the creepiest things I've ever been around.

Just do the fact that it's riel.

This is the kind of stuff that would be in a movie or something like that.

But this is not a movie prop.

It's way well to maid.

I could see myself in this time period.

Never fear, chum.

Hell's things here.

Just put it down.

It's so typical.

Like the early 18 fifties.

And just like a portable shaving kit.

You know, we could have 100 different little things that we have a rosary.

Because if you kind of battle vampires you're gonna need that isn't made out of real silver.

Um, yeah.

So I don't get a wooden stake will kill a vampire, but it has to be a silver bullet.

How come mistake doesn't have to be made out of silver?

Because there's tears, man parts.

Everyone knows there's vampires, Rick, everything is 100% correct.

But vampires don't exist, so they just don't just hand who would have us.

How much you want for this?

Um, over 100 years old, I was thinking six grand.

Uh, I've never seen anything in my in hangar career that even comes similares to compare this to.

So I'm gonna give somebody call.

Sounds good.

This is creepy.

I bet you this is the guy who hunted vampires.

Looks like a bad ass to me.

He's even got a fanny pack on.

All I can say is, welcome to creepy town.

Uh oh.

I've never seen anything like this.

Thing is fantastic to term for this is a vampire defense.

Kitt, would someone really just have this made up as a joke or, well, 18 eighties 18 nineties.

This is like the apex of the Victorian fascination with spirituality.

You had famous people in society who believed in vampires.

It was fascination with the occult.

Okay, let me take a look at the guns.

So the pistols are a matched pair, and they do date from about 18.

42 about mid 18 fifties.

That is a big barrel.

That's a least a 50 caliber.

Were hunting vampires And where?

Well, yeah.

I wonder if this has, like, holy water or something in it Ether.

Okay, chum.

Smell that real quick.

I'm kidding you.

And this is a letter November 18 90.

Dear friend sign Arthur E.

Can't read that.

All right, well said, There's a little bit of paperwork with it in today's money.

This would have cost 10 or $15,000 easily.

The last one of these that was publicly sold in a major auction house Sold for over $25,000.

All right, Thanks, man.

I'll call you if I get If you get this, please call me because I want to do more research on.

All right, maybe shoot the guns.

I'm really intrigued by that letter.

I'd like to research it just a little more, because maybe it could really unlock the mystery of how this set came to be all right.

I always pay for it.

I mean, he said 25.

So I think I'd be comfortable.

20.

Okay.

First off, anyone else would just gave you this experience.

I appreciate it.

I'll give you 15 grand.

The 20 guys in the world that want this aren't gonna randomly off of mission.

You know, maybe 18 5 I'll tell you what, I will give you 16 grand and I can't go any higher.

I have to take something like this.

Sometimes.

Have to wait years by the right auction.

Put it in.

So 16 grand.

I want to go for 16.

All right.

Cool, man.

Um, you deal with this because I really don't want to touch anything anymore.

So, Rick, I've got some vampires this way.

Just put it away and be careful with it.

Floor creepy.

Come on, come on.
