WARREN DRACULA SOIL PENDANT SEALED COA #4988/5000 TRANSYLVANIA VINTAGE RARE

VINTAGE WARREN PUBLISHING DRACULA SOIL PENDANT – NEVER OPENED – #4988 OF 5,000

Exceptionally unusual vintage Warren Publishing Dracula collectible, originally offered by mail and advertised as containing genuine soil from Dracula's Castle in Transylvania.

The pendant has NEVER BEEN OPENED. The original plastic bag remains taped closed with its ORIGINAL TAPE, with the coffin-shaped soil pendant and gold-tone chain still sealed inside.

Even better, this example retains its original numbered Certificate of Authenticity along with Warren Publishing promotional/order material.

ORIGINAL SEALED PENDANT

The pendant and chain remain inside their original clear plastic bag, still taped shut with the original tape.

The bag has never been opened and the pendant has never been removed.

This is particularly desirable for a collectible of this type, as many surviving examples have been opened, separated from their paperwork, or lost their original packaging over the years.

LIMITED EDITION #4988 OF 5,000

The original Warren Publishing Certificate of Authenticity identifies this example as:

NUMBER 4988 OF ONLY 5,000

According to Warren's original certificate, the soil contained inside the pendant came directly from the grounds of Castle Dracula in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, in the region historically known as Transylvania.

The certificate bears the James Warren signature as issued.

ORIGINAL WARREN PUBLISHING ADVERTISEMENT

WARREN PUBLISHING HORROR COLLECTIBLE

Warren Publishing is one of the most important names in vintage horror publishing, best known for Famous Monsters of Filmland, Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella.

Unusual Warren mail-order premiums and memorabilia can be considerably harder to encounter than the magazines themselves, particularly when the original components remain together.

The combination of the unopened original packaging, numbered COA, original advertisement and Dracula/Transylvania subject matter makes this a particularly appealing example for a serious Warren Publishing, vintage horror, Dracula or monster memorabilia collection.

CONDITION

Never opened. The original bag remains taped shut with its original tape.

Paper materials exhibit some normal age/storage wear as visible in the photographs, but overall excellent condition. Please review all photos carefully, as they show the actual pendant, packaging, certificate and accompanying materials being offered.

A remarkably complete, unopened survivor — Warren Publishing Dracula Soil Pendant #4988 of only 5,000.
