HISTORY – Offered here is an extraordinary pair of giant fiberglass Guernsey cow and bull heads measuring approximately 10 feet tall, 12 feet wide. Believed to have been installed around 1955 atop the famous Carlson-Frink Dairy billboard overlooking Speer Boulevard in downtown Denver, these monumental advertising sculptures became a well-known Denver landmark during the golden age of roadside advertising. Carlson-Frink Dairy, formed in 1926 through the merger of the Carlson Ice Cream Company (1886) and the Frink Dairy Company (1902), was one of Colorado’s leading dairy companies before being purchased by Borden Dairy in 1959. Following the removal of the billboard, the heads survived decades of storage at several Denver industrial locations before coming into the care of Denver exhibit builder and model maker Chris Stamis. Chris began a professional restoration in the mid-2000s, building a custom rotating support system to work on the massive sculptures, but the project ended after he was seriously injured in 2007. The heads have remained in his possession for nearly twenty years and are now being offered for sale as he clears his property. Their design closely resembles the famous “Golden Guernsey” billboard cows created for Ewald Dairy in Minneapolis by commercial sculptor Bob Johnson for Naegele Outdoor Advertising. While their exact maker has not been confirmed, the nearly identical dimensions and striking stylistic similarities suggest they may share the same creative lineage. These exceptionally rare survivors represent an important piece of Denver’s commercial history and offer a remarkable restoration opportunity for collectors, museums, businesses, or anyone interested in preserving an iconic piece of Colorado roadside Americana.

INFO – The sale includes both the cow and bull heads. Both are being sold as-is, where-is, and exhibit damage, cracks, and possibly missing pieces. Each head measures approximately 10 feet tall by 12 feet long and weighs approximately 500 pounds or more. Removal is the responsibility of the buyer.
