Mad Men fans now have the chance to own Don Draper's wallet, Peggy Olson's typewriter, and Roger Sterling's sunglasses. ScreenBid and the show's producer, Lionsgate, are auctioning off more than 1,500 props and memorabilia from the TV series to commemorate the one-year anniversary of its finale. The online sale begins June 1st and closes June 15th.
