Spoils of Madoff's feast go on the auction block

NEW YORK

They're the spoils of a feast that's over forever: Bernard Madoff's stuff on the auction block.

Almost 200 items seized from the fallen financier's homes are being sold Saturday in Manhattan.

They range from furs, dishes and stationery to a Rolex dubbed "the prisoner's watch" because it was modeled on those made for Allied prisoners during World War II.

This one belonged to Madoff, a 71-year-old inmate serving a 150-year prison sentence for defrauding investors.

Proceeds will be divided among Madoff's victims.

(This version CORRECTS that the Rolex was not one of those used by prisoners, only modeled on them.)
