How about Pat Ohara and "Kids Bids"?

I was on the last taping in about '63. I called the station to see if they had archives but they didn't. You had to save up Old Dutch chip bags and box tops for points and then you got to bid on toys in an auction. Some heavyweight kids had like 300K points and hey out bid pretty well everybody.
