Colonel Harland Sanders’ Kentucky property and historic business items are scheduled to be auctioned in the United States, with organizers saying the collection is being offered to the public for the first time. Multiple sources report that the auction includes Sanders’ former home and the Claudia Sanders Dinner House, along with personal belongings and other memorabilia associated with his KFC business. The items also include business records, photographs, and additional historic artifacts, such as an engraved pressure cooker. One outlet notes that Sanders establishes the Shelbyville property in the late 1950s as the first headquarters for his restaurant business. Another outlet adds that the collection has been preserved by the Settle family for more than 50 years and is now being sold after that long period of private custody. The auction is set to take place on July 28 in Kentucky. Organizers present the sale as a chance to acquire artifacts tied directly to Sanders’ life and the early period of the restaurant chain.
