I wonder what ever happened to those?
Does someone still have someone still have those hanging around their house?
In some dusty attic? A showplace in their living room?
makes you think...

Did the contestant have a case of ADHD? I thought the Italian words were easier than anything remember.
But then again, this was 1960.......

Holy shitballs, these prizes were ugly.
I guess the entertainment in a barrel concept never caught on.
Still, TV was experimental in those days, so they could have done anything, like a washing machine enclosed in nuclear protected coating to resist the communists.
It was a strange time, 1960. Kennedy tried to bring us out of the dark era but ended up locking eyebrows with Nakita Krushev himself in a missle crisis.
But the culture of the hidden electronics is so spy 60's espionage that I could not help commenting. Also, didnt a lot of tvs and stereos have covers to them and screens or doors to disguise them as furniture?

The barrel stereo thing reminds me of the 1960's popular barrel furniture. I remember a game room set that has a barrel with a top for a card table and the matching chairs were made from smaller barrels with the seating area covered in ...gasp...naugahyde!
J.C. Penny sold them. Anyone remember those?

My grandfather handmade a child's chair for my mother out of a barrel, it's covered in green naugahyde. I used it when I was a child too. I wonder if that was where he got the idea...

Ugly? yes! Perfect for an old time western bar? Yes!
