John Steinbeck's belongings are up for auction

We’ve heard plenty about author John Steinbeck’s literary estate these past few months.

So now here’s some news about his physical estate.

Literary Hub has culled the highlights of a soon-to-end auction of forty items owned by Steinbeck and his third wife.

The belongings, which have apparently sat in a storage unit since Elaine Steinbeck died in 2003, include family photos, letters, Nobel Prize memorabilia, and household items like a silver-plated wine cooler.

As of the writing of this post, Heritage Auctions’ website was offline for maintenance, so you’ll have to content yourselves with what Lit Hub shared for now.
