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 among 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.
