The Beach Boys "Brother Records" Bronze Sculpture from the Santa Monica Office. Founded in 1966, by Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson. Brothers Records came about due to Capitol Records perceived lack of support. They wanted more creative control so they started their own record company.

The company logo was chosen based on a life size bronze statue by Cyrus E. Dallin's in 1908. Carl Wilson was asked in 1975 why the group used this as their logo, he said "The Indian was chosen because the Wilson brothers' grandfather believed there was a spiritual Indian guide who watched over them from the other side." "Appeal to the great spirit".
Mike Love was also quoted "Their is no one more American than the American Indian."

This piece measures approx: 20" tall with a base measuring 8" by 16". The Indian hands are approx: 11.5" apart. Weighing in at approx: 47 pounds. This rare example was on display in the entrance to the Brothers Records' Santa Monica office. In overall Very Good Plus to Near Mint Minus condition.

We cannot stress enough what a sterling example this has become. It will be a wonderful and displayable addition to the collection. COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Gregg Oehlke Music Archive.

OK, who all is bidding??

(This looks like a fun, fun, fun way to test my marriage.)

I have no doubt this was genuinely owned by the band and in their office entrance. It is just such a shame there isn’t photographic proof, ideally with group members in the frame. The value would definitely be way up.
