SHELBYVILLE, Ky. (AP) — KFC founder Colonel Sanders ‘ pressure cooker, black bow tie and dozens of other personal items are up for public auction, along with his former home and a dinner house Sanders opened after selling his iconic restaurant chain. “Colonel Sanders was the original celebrity chef,” said Bill Menish, whose firm, The Menish Group, is conducting the auction. Sanders’ personal watches, an original cash register, his cutlery set, a bust sculpted by his daughter and a commercial gas range from the colonel’s former residence are among the items up for bidding. Sanders sold KFC in 1964 to a group of investors, but continued as a brand ambassador for the company. “He adopted the colonel: the clothes, the bow tie, the glasses, the goatee.”
