He was asking $550, so - if you could find one today (and I've never seen another for sale in the intervening 45-odd years) - the price would be a helluva lot higher.

I have a friend who was a WB rep( might still be) who has one. Don't think he wants to sell it, tho. Title: Re: beach boys neon sign Post by: bringahorseinhere? on January 23, 2014, 03:01:55 PM ok.... here's the 'dumb' question because "I guess I'm"....... (see what I did there?)
Can you get them made up using the Beach Boys 70's band logo design? (15 big ones)..... or is that a copyright trademark thing, where they would not allowed to reproduce? being a one off item, would they be so bothered?...... it's a dream item .... that looks like it'll be staying as one...

Title: Re: beach boys neon sign Post by: Mikie on January 23, 2014, 03:38:04 PM If I remember correctly, it was either Derek's or somebody else that had a neon sign depicting the Beach Boys logo ("The Beach Boys") designed by Dean Torrence in 1976. Can't remember if it also had "15 Big Ones" attached to it, but for sure it was just the Beach Boys logo, circa 1976.

Title: Re: beach boys neon sign Post by: Cliff1000uk on January 24, 2014, 03:15:41 AM There was one on Ebay at Christmas as I was searching for "Beach Boys signed".
I've had a quick look and it's now gone but I'll have a search for sold items EDIT: This is it from the 'Surfin' USA Tour' http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vin-beach-boys-surfin-s-advertisement-151090823 (http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vin-beach-boys-surfin-s-advertisement-151090823) Title: Re: beach boys neon sign Post by: Andrew G. Doe on January 24, 2014, 08:32:55 AM That eBay thing is extremely bogus. I'll not list the things wrong with the description as all here will spot them instantly, but if anyone paid good money for that thinking it's a genuine piece of BB memorabilia, they've been ripped. The only connection is that it says "Beach Boys" on it.

OK, my fault, that last link wasn't the one I was thinking of (it fininshed in 2011) This is the one I was thinking of: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-BEACH-BOYS-CALIFORNIA-GIRLS-SLOT-MACHINE-TOPPER-CASINO-DISPLAY-SIGN-WORKING-/221337846107?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3388c3815b&nma=true&si=ooROLoLMTzzkc9wrf5HJxm9Feh4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-BEACH-BOYS-CALIFORNIA-GIRLS-SLOT-MACHINE-TOPPER-CASINO-DISPLAY-SIGN-WORKING-/221337846107?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3388c3815b&nma=true&si=ooROLoLMTzzkc9wrf5HJxm9Feh4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) This one sat on top of a slot machine that must have been based in a casino the guys were playing at. |
