GET YOURS NOW!

 In a leaky outbuilding of the old incinerator, Harrisburg (PA) is preparing to sell off some unlikely treasures.

Around 8,000 artefacts, most associated with the old Wild West, are stacked and scattered throughout the building, gathering dust.

It is a sad, extraordinary sight. From creaking stage coaches to the ghostly skeletons of cacti, there's a bit of everything.

Gloves that may or may not have belonged to Buffalo Bill. A wanted "dead or alive" poster for Jesse James. A horse's hoof, complete with shoe, from the battle of the Little Big Horn. Gorgeous French duelling pistols. A bag full of undertaker's equipment.


And perhaps most bizarre of all: a vampire-killing kit, complete with pistol, stake, mirrors, crosses and a jar of garlic.

 (Get yours now - supplies are limited!)
