KFC founder Colonel Sanders' personal items, former home and restaurant up for auction

Bidding for some major pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken history at the Claudia Sanders Dinner House is now open. One of fast food’s best-kept secrets is up for auction as a decades-old mystery will soon belong to the highest bidder. KFC founder Harland Sanders' pressure cooker, black bow tie and dozens of his personal items are up for public auction.

The family who bought his dinner house and residence in Kentucky also is auctioning off those properties this week.
