Ripley's Believe It or Not Vampire Killing Kits

Throughout the country, Ripley's museums seem to consider vampire killing kits important enough to merit global inclusion. I have seen the kit in Wisconsin (below), and here is collected evidence of kits at their other facilities. Since they are all different, it is clear that they were not assembled en masse just for the museums. I will check into how long Ripleys museums have been around (at least since the media storm of Louis Ripley around the 1950's).
