You Can Be The Proud Owner Of Hugh Hefner's Legendary Captain's Hat, Pipe, and Pajamas

Daily Mail - Hugh Hefner’s first edition copy of Playboy magazine has been discovered after 65 years and is set to make thousands for charity.

The 1953 publication, which famously featured Marilyn Monroe on the cover, has recently been unearthed by the late publisher’s children, following his death last year.

They have decided to sell the rare magazine along with a number of his other possessions to raise money for charity.

Hefner’s famous sailor cap will also be on sale, along with his Playboy logo cuff links and carved briar pipe also featuring a Playboy logo.

His signature tailoring will also be on sale, including his bespoke smoking jacket, worth $5,000 and his silk pajamas, which are valued at $2,000.

Hefner’s complete personal set of bound Playboy volumes is anticipated to be the most lucrative sale, with estimates at $40,000.

All proceeds will be donated to the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation, which was established in 1964 to support efforts in defense of civil rights, with emphasis on First Amendment rights and rational sex and drug policies.

I’m not exaggerating when I say the Hugh Hefner auction is the most important auction in the history of the world. There is a lot of responsibility going to whomever buys his silk pajamas, sailor’s hat, and pipe. I’m actually shocked any ol’ person is allowed to buy such treasures. You would think the Smithsonian or the Louvre or the White House would buy these artifacts to preserve them and make sure nothing bad ever happens to them. Like, you wouldn’t let any ol’ person buy the Wright Brother’s airplane, or Thomas Edison’s first lightbulb, or Heisenberg’s hat, so it is shocking they are letting any Dick, Joe, or Harry buy Hef’s, nay, America’s most prized possessions.

So please, person who decides they are worthy of Hugh Hefner’s robe or pajamas, remember the importance behind them. Remember the history. And remember the legendary amounts of bodily fluids that have drowned those holy cloths. Hugh Hefner was, and always will be, an American hero. A man who fought for life, liberty, and boobies for all. A man who gave the world pornography before the invention of the computer. And for that we say, salut.
