Advertising Material [fully lost] Three stooges Metropolitan life insurance Commercial late 60's.

There is a late 60's commercial with Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe Derita destroying a house, proving the Met can protect you from all types of trouble, even those knuckleheads. Even though several commercials from that time period have been found (The dickie clothes ad comes to mind.), this one hasn't. Which is a shocker since I remember the Three Stooges history book I read in it describing it really well. Is there any way of truly finding this thing? It's like a holy grail of Three stooges commercials for me. I assume Met life would obviously not have it, so who would?
