I was contacted by the prop guys (although they did
not mention Mad
Men) a year or so back, and was seriously thinking about loaning some
of my pieces (card machines that a model 30 would have used - they
insisted on a model 30), until they mentioned that the machines might
be "modified" to suit the production.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
There have been sotries of film (movie) companies who have asked to
borrow antique furniture, etc, and agreed an insurance value wit hthe
owner. They then complete trashed it as required for the film and simply
paid the owner the insurance value. Needless to say said owners were not
exactly happy about this.
I was told to _never_ lend anything to such companies
