Top Brass Oil Properties, Inc. is a privately owned royalty and mineral acquisition company headquartered in Long Beach, California. The company was founded in 1975 by David E. Combs. At the time the company was founded, Mr. Combs acquired an old cavalry bugle constructed of brass. This relic, as apparent from its condition, saw hard times; perhaps having led some of our early cavalry soldiers into fierce battle of on the western plains. Out of respect for the brave, the company was named “Top Brass.”

​

To this day, Mr. Combs and his immediate family still own and operate the business. With four generations of Combs having worked in the energy business, Top Brass is a well established and experienced company that takes pride in sticking to its core values of honesty, integrity, and respect. With each and every transaction, Top Brass aims to provide individuals and families with professional, friendly assistance in selling their mineral interests.
