Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, curious minds and collectors of the marvellous — roll up, roll up and gather close. The auction spectacle of the season is about to begin.

Now in its ninth year, Sworders' Out of the Ordinary sale returns on August 18. Beneath our imaginary big top, the curious, the uncanny and the extraordinary take centre stage, offering a celebration of objects that sit far beyond the bounds of the everyday. It's the place to find a cavalcade of curiosities: a witch's ball, an iron maiden, a mahogany cased vampire slaying kit or a George I memento mori ring.

Much interest is circling around a rare eyewitness UFO account from the early days of the modern ‘flying saucer' phenomenon. Written in Durban soon after the sighting on March 8, 1953, the author Barbara Graves carefully records the weather conditions, appearance of the object, and its unusual movements across the sky.

She told her correspondent, Muriel Armfield, of Chertsey, Surrey: 'I hope you don't think I've taken to the bottle when I tell you that on Sunday, Tom and I saw a Flying Saucer over Durban. We were taking photographs in the Botanical Gardens when I spied a ro... Read More

[SHELBYVILLE, Ky. - July 6, 2026] - One of the most comprehensive collections of personal Colonel Harland Sanders memorabilia ever brought to public auction will be available to collectors, historians, entrepreneurs, and fans on July 28, 2026, at Claudia Sanders Restaurant in Shelbyville, Ky.

Many of the artifacts originate from Blackwood Hall, the longtime home of Colonel and Claudia Sanders, where the couple lived for approximately 25 years. Franchise owners from around the world traveled to Shelbyville to learn directly from Sanders, often gathering at Blackwood Hall to study the cooking techniques, hospitality standards, and business practices that helped build one of the world's most recognizable restaurant brands. The artifacts have been preserved by the Settle family, who purchased both Blackwood Hall and the Claudia Sanders Dinner House directly from Colonel and Claudia Sanders in 1974. That uninterrupted chain of ownership makes the collection exceptionally rare and provides a level of provenance seldom available in the memorabilia market.

For the first time, the personal collection preserved by the Settle family will be offered at auction on the very property ... Read More
