Title: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: CenturyDeprived on July 26, 2015, 06:01:45 PM Setting aside all potential holy grail BB media finds (like more Smile tapes and the full Leonard Bernstein video footage), what types of non-media related holy grail BB artifacts might possibly still exist, and how much might they be worth if they ever came to market (with authenticated proof)?
A few that come to mind: Actual Smile fire helmets The actual mythical sandbox Brian's Pet Sounds LP cover jacket/coat thing Mike's first onstage-worn hat Murry's glass eye Party promo potato chips Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: The Cincinnati Kid on July 26, 2015, 06:08:09 PM I can't imagine how the sandbox could still exist. Wouldn't it have been removed/disassembled when Brian moved out?
Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: CenturyDeprived on July 26, 2015, 06:13:56 PM I can't imagine how the sandbox could still exist. Wouldn't it have been removed/disassembled when Brian moved out? Probably discarded unceremoniously. A shame too, considering there's no photographs of it either...

Original SMiLE, Pet Sounds or hits lyric sheets or music sheets If we're gonna list the sandbox, maybe the arab tent? I dont know after that.

Isn't it likely that Frank has that? Shouldn't be that hard to call and ask.

Doesn't Jeff Foskett own that?
One of these days, I want to have a copy of that made. My favorite BBs album cover. Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: Alan Smith on July 30, 2015, 03:19:37 AM The Woodie.
A certain item of household crockery. Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: Emdeeh on July 30, 2015, 10:32:45 AM Brian's plate glass window that's on the Wild Honey album cover. Doesn't Jeff Foskett own that? I've heard that Marilyn owns it and had it installed in her current home. Jeff's window is inspired by the WH window, but not an exact copy. There's a photo of it floating around in the ether. Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: acedecade75 on July 30, 2015, 11:18:30 AM Whatever happened to Dennis' boat The Harmony? Does it still exist?
Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: Pretty Funky on July 30, 2015, 02:42:56 PM Last heard of in Oregon I believe. Nothing for the last 20 years or so.
Still think the coolest item is the Marilyn/ Brian tablet someone here has. Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: petsoundsnola on July 30, 2015, 07:33:21 PM Dennis' Jug

Does it still exist? It would be awesome if someone could buy it and restore it to a similar state as to when Dennis owned it, and maybe set it up as a museum/tribute to him. It'd be like a little mini floating Graceland. Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: Malc on July 30, 2015, 11:46:18 PM The Woodie. How cool would it be to have a reunion between the original 62 woodie and the surfboard also featured in the pic (which, I seem to recall, recently reappeared in an online auction). Just imagine how much they would have to catch up on... Also, how about the goats on the PS album ? Has anyone ever wondered as to how they coped with their brief moment of fame ? Was there a sudden upsurge in the popularity of the pets corner in San Diego ? No ? Me neither...

I loved it and can't remember it now - who knows it may already be on some album.

Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: sockittome on July 31, 2015, 05:36:30 PM Whatever happened to Brian's late 60s detuned piano? I'd love to have that....or maybe someone can show me how to get that sound from a regular upright.
Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: rogerlancelot on July 31, 2015, 06:04:40 PM An authentic photograph featuring Dennis Wilson (and any other BBs) posing with Charles Manson.
Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: CenturyDeprived on July 31, 2015, 06:10:45 PM An authentic photograph featuring Dennis Wilson (and any other BBs) posing with Charles Manson. One (or more) probably must have been taken, or have existed at some point. Or at least one would think. For how long a period of time did Dennis know Manson before they fell out? But if ever there was a case of wanting to destroy/burn the negative, this would be it. Title: Re: Hypothetical holy-grail BB finds (other than media) and their potential value Post by: CenturyDeprived on August 04, 2015, 02:31:11 PM I wonder if any famous BB clothing/outfits have at some point been discarded and/or donated, and wound up in a Salvation Army or Goodwill somewhere? Maybe these items are sitting in some non-BB fan's closet right now, or in a landfill?
I wonder where are the current whereabouts of Carl's 1980 Knebworth jacket? Mike's late '60s robes? Denny's Fleetwood Mac t-shirt? David Marks' embarrassingly-oversized suit jacket from the 1962 Bel Air Bay Club gig?

Doe on August 06, 2015, 01:50:09 AM An authentic photograph featuring Dennis Wilson (and any other BBs) posing with Charles Manson. One (or more) probably must have been taken, or have existed at some point. Or at least one would think. Not necessarily. There's only one known authenticated photo of Charlie at Dennis' house, where he lived for several months, and it's very poor quality. I'm guessing people either didn't have cameras or had better things to be doing. Likewise the sandbox: no photos are known to exist (although I'm chasing down a rumour).

It is indeed surprising that no sandbox photos exist... just shows what a different time it was back then. Still, all it took was a photography-inclined friend carrying around a Brownie camera for documented evidence to have survived.

an I BRAKE FOR BRIAN WILSON bumper sticker (I'd prefer several, they wear out) a toy ukulele given out at LEI'D IN HAWAII a nice old original woolen PENDLETON shirt in my size of course. I'm wearing a PENDLETON shirt right now, honest, but the label reads "Warranted to be a PENDLETON. Pendleton Woolen Mills. Portland OR.
