Nintendo was founded in 1889, making playing cards.
Coca-Cola was founded in 1892.
Levi’s blue jeans were invented in 1853.
Dracula was published in 1897, set in that time.
We could have had Dracula wearing jeans, drinking a Coke and playing Nintendo and it would be accurate.

This reminds me of something i saw several years ago.
Around this same time, wild west gun slingers, japanese samurai, and pirates all existed. So you could have also had a group of adventurers consisting of these three to fight Dracula. Wild just to consider.
Inspired by the recent post by @LadyButterfly@reddthat.com about how Dracula in fact does feature a wild west gun slinger who kills Dracula by stabbing him with a bowie knife.
Small correction. It’s usually thought that Dracula is set a few years before it was published in 1897. Different calculations arrive at different years, but 1893 is one of the best fits.
