This daytime episode, on the Friday before Father's Day, turned up on YouTube. The intros and the first bidding game is missing, so this recap picks up as celebrity panelist Rudy Vallee calls Audrey Chiles from the audience. She'll be who Rudy plays for in the second bidding game. The announcer is ABC announcer Ed Jordan.

The civilian contestants are identified as Mrs. Sherrill, Mr. Bertanni, and Mrs. McCarthy.


Second item up for bids: Fashion, consisting of a broadtail fur coat by Ole Casini; jewelry of a necklace, bracelet and earrings by Monet, and L'air du Temps perfume.

Mr. Bertanni opens and it's a one-bid item:

- - SHERRILL - - - - BERTANNI - - - - -McCARTHY - - - -VALLEE - -
....................... ................* 350 ...............* 850 ...............* 325
...............* 900

Actual retail price: $988.95, with Mrs. Sherrill the winner, and she hit the bonus bell. For her bonus, she receives 100 pieces of paper plates and cups in the lido and chianti designs from Continental Can Co, and 50 units of smoked salami from American Kosher Provisions.
 
Rudy's next audience participant: Madeline Barr from Hollis N Y. Next item is from the show's Curiosity Shop, meaning the item could cost a few pennies or hundreds of dollars. The item: A 2-ft high barber pole lamp, imported from Italy. Price authority: A. Simkins imports, Brooklyn NY.


Mrs. McCarthy opens and it's another one-bid item:

- - SHERRILL - - - - BERTANNI - - - - -McCARTHY - - - -VALLEE - -
....................... .................... ..................* 29 ..................* 100
.................* 30 ..............* 40

Actual retail price: $64, with Mr. Bertanni the winner and he hit the bonus bell. His bonus is a ladies' wig from Marri wigs of Miami, and a Spinnett piano from Storey and Clark Co.

The winner of the Riviera Sweepstakes is announced. The items are a Riviera vacation via Sabena Airlines, floor wax, and Chunky candy, which all come to a price of $2031.09.

The cards drawn from the drums with the bidders and their bids:

* Mrs. Schroeder (no first name on card), Bridgewater S D - $1593.20

The winner is D.L. Thompson. He wins the items and will be flown to New York to be on the show. The other four people will receive a Bell & Howell home movie camera.

Correction: Mrs. Sherrill's total is after four days, seeing as this was a daytime show.
