Denver Cow Heads High Offer = by IFMSA

High Offer Status = Sale Ended – Sold

Send offers to info@usagiants.com

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. The buyer will coordinate payment, pickup dates, and logistics directly with the seller. The seller will allow up to two months for the buyer to remove the cow heads from the property. American Giants is available to answer questions about the history of the pieces and offer suggestions regarding transportation and restoration. The heads are located near Denver, Colorado.

Historical information and ownership background are based on information provided by the seller. American Giants is assisting with marketing the items and has not independently verified the ownership history.

Chicken Car Topper History – This is an original Paul White Chicken Topper. This was most likely made in KY by Paul White sometime in the 70s or 80s and it is unknown if it was ever used on a car. The chicken comes in two pieces and has spent much of the last 20 years in outdoor storage. It is one of the more rare top hat versions compared to the more common version with no hat. This is the same style of chicken used on the Krekel cars in IL. The chicken comes as is and does need a restoration before it can be installed and used again. It can also be installed as a indoor display in it’s current vintage condition. Statue is located near Marion, IL. (Ends on Nov 30)

Fiberglass Pheasant History – This giant fiberglass pheasant is the original sculpture pulled from the mold and commissioned by the City of Gregory in 2000, later erected in 2004. It was the final piece ever created at FAST by founder Jerry Vettrus, who had recently sold the company but stayed on as a consultant. Jerry not only sculpted this artwork but personally hand-painted it for display along the highway. As the only original copy tied directly to Gregory, SD, it carries substantial artistic and historic significance. The pheasant shows some wear, including damage to the breast area and a missing section of the tail. When standing, the head reaches approximately 7–8 feet high, and the full tail height is about 10 feet; when hauled lying on its breast, it measures 11’10” from breast to tail tip and requires 14 feet of bridge clearance. The piece weighs an estimated 300–400 lbs—light enough to tip and maneuver with effort but far too heavy to lift from one side. Statue is located near Minneapolis, MN (Ends on Dec 7)

This sale ran for two weeks in May 2025 and resulted in a high offer but this was declined by the owner since it was considerably lower than what these giants sell for. Deterents were the fact that the giant was missing feet and the paint colors were not desirable to interested buyers. The owner plans to fix the feet, repaint the giant and complete the legs and put the giant up for sale again sometime in 2026.

International Fiberglass Bunyan High Offer = $23,500

High Offer Status = – Sale Over – Offer Declined

Send offers to info@usagiants.com

HISTORY – This iconic fiberglass Bunyan, crafted by International Fiberglass, is a well known fixture in the Chicago area. During the mid 60s, dozens of these larger-than-life Bunyans were made and sold to businesses and amusement parks across the country. Out of all the styles of Muffler Men this one was the most produced and certainly the most common. This particular statue was one of a handful of giants that ended up in the Chicago area, and appears to be one of the earlier models made. In the 1960s the giant was installed on the roof of Kallemeyn Auto Rebuilders in Evergreen Park and at the time still had his boots. At some point during the years the boots were removed for unknown reasons but possibly because they snapped off during a storm or because of wind damage. The shoeless giant was then attached with a bracket to a short brick wall and secured with wires. In 2011 he was repainted and looked pretty good but sadly came down in a massive storm in 2017. The giant lay in pieces on the roof for over a year before being brought inside. American Giants was considered for a restoration but it never materialized. In 2024 restoration began on the giant before it was decided to sell him in 2025.

INFO – Statue is roughly 19 ft tall with an estimated weight of 300 pounds (could be more). Statue is complete other than his Bunyan boots which are missing. The giant is in various stages of restoration and is sold as is. The head has been restored and repainted.Torso and arms are restored and have also been repainted. Pants are partially restored and sanded but have not been painted. The boots are missing and replacements will need to be made and installed. The seller is willing to complete the painting for an additional fee or the buyer can pick up as is. Buyer is responsible for pick up and transport. The giant is located at Guardian Auto Rebuilders in Evergreen Park, Chicago. Please reach out to the the offer email above for any other questions and direct your questions to American Giants not Guardian as we are handling this sale for them.

Once again American Giants has sold another original Muffler Man, this time from own collection. Because we found the Gray, GA Phillips 66 Cowboy last year and restored it, we decided to set it up at our Museum in IL instead of the one we already had.

International Fiberglass Cowboy High Offer = CoolcarzMike

High Offer Status = – Sale Over –

Send offers to info@usagiants.com

HISTORY – This iconic fiberglass cowboy statue, crafted by International Fiberglass around 1966, was very likely a part of the Phillips 66 “Cowboy Campaign.” During this nationwide promotion, dozens of these larger-than-life cowboys were deployed to gas stations across the country to attract customers and embody the brand’s Western spirit. This particular statue was possibly one of a handful sent to Illinois, where it stood in Belleville when the campaign concluded. In the early 1970s, the statue was purchased by Leon Demand, who displayed it outside his computer store on Centerville Road. Over time, the cowboy was relegated to the weeds behind the business, largely forgotten. In 1988, Demand sold the statue to Mark Paule Auto Sales, where it spent the next decade on the sales lot. During this period, it was painted yellow and even held a go-kart frame, serving as a quirky advertisement. In 1998, the cowboy was acquired by Croft Trailer and relocated to Valley Park, MO where it was mounted high on a building platform, till it was brought down in a storm. In 2016, the statue was purchased by American Giants, and in 2017, a Southern Illinois fiberglass worker began a partial restoration, though the project was never fully completed.

INFO – Statue is roughly 20 ft tall with an estimated weight of 300 pounds (could be more). Statue is complete but in various stages of restoration and is sold as is.
