GUEST: This is my dad... APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.

GUEST: ...in the '60s, early '60s.

He decided to sell insurance.

So he was in school, and, uh, right before they graduated the class, the teacher said, "If anybody can sell Evel Knievel insurance," you know, you get, like, a big bonus, something.

I don't know what it was.

So my dad was on a mission, found Evel Knievel, and sold him the insurance.

It was from Mutual of Omaha.

They found out about it, and they were, like, "No way," they dropped him.

They're, like, "We're not gonna," you know, "insure him."

So then, like, two days later, they said, "Well, we're going to use him as an advertisement."

APPRAISER: Yeah.

GUEST: So they reinsured him.

APPRAISER: Every part of this is amazing.

GUEST: (laughs) APPRAISER: I mean, Evel Knievel was our hero as kids.

GUEST: Yeah.

(laughs) APPRAISER: We all wanted to be him.

He jumped the Snake River.

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: Or, well, tried to, anyway.

GUEST: (laughs): Yeah!

APPRAISER: He jumped the fountains at Caesar's Palace.

He did all these crazy stunt shows.

And you see Evel Knievel's little trailer right there.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: And, you know, Evel Knievel-- and look!

With a cane.

GUEST: Yup.

(laughs) APPRAISER: Why?

Because he broke something again.

At auction, I'd put an estimate of $400 to $600 on it.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: But I can see it going a little bit higher, easily.

GUEST: Yeah.

I just wanted to brag about my dad.

(laughs) APPRAISER: Yeah, it's great.
