‘Mad Men’ Auction: Now’s Your Chance to Find Out What’s in Don Draper’s Wallet
Part of the appeal of “Mad Men” was always in its sleek aesthetics, mid-century decor and retro appliances. It should thus come as good news to many that an online props and memorabilia auction is being held on June 1 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the season finale, with more than 1,500 items up for grabs.

“Every item that appeared on ‘Mad Men’ was chosen with painstaking care to be both historically accurate for the time period and to help tell the characters’ stories through the objects around them,” said Freund. “With this auction, it’s exciting to give fans a chance to take home a piece of American and television history.” Personally, I’ve got my eyes on Don’s copy of “The Inferno.”
The auction begins on ScreenBid.com on Wednesday, June 1. Lots will begin closing on Monday, June 13 and officially end two days later, on the 15.
