Spooky Auction Includes Human Bones

Posted on October 28th, 2014 by Joe G

The Danse Macabre, an auction fit for Halloween, was held Oct. 22 in New Jersey, and featured a variety of creepy items.

Just how creepy were they? Sold items included everything from sheet music, to a 19th century voodoo kit, to actual human bones! Human foot bones sold for $123, a partial skull sold for $461, and a hand of bones sold for $223.

A 19th century vampire hunting kit raked in over $11,000. The ‘kit’ was a wooden coffin box with wooden stakes, garlic, holy water and more. A voodoo kit including a wax doll, claw, shell and herbs sold for $2,460.

Customer Testimonial

Had a Great Experience

I have dealt in coins and metals since the 80s. Had dealings with many dealers. Got scammed by a few. Chicago Gold is the only one I would recommend to my family or friends. Have your valuables appraised by them before you sell.

I'll be back

Cashed in some silver coins and received a very fair exchange. Joe and Chris, were very friendly, and comfortable to deal with. Came back with some jewelry, and received a rough appraisal...again no pressure.

I would do business with them again

Good people who are honest, open and friendly. I'm glad I found them and not too far from my area.
