Early 20th Century Jockstraps Day

Today's series is another reminder that the jockstrap has been around a very long time.  

The set is early 20th Century, but the noble garment was around even before then.

Our first photo has just a bit of crotch thatch showing if you look carefully.

 

Clenching

I think this guy is clenching both his fists and his glutes.

 

Socks with sandals

This handsome and well built fellow seems to be wearing socks with his gladiator sandals.  

Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy would have something cross to say about that!

 

Harry Paschal

This is Harry Paschall, clipped from the pages of a pulp fitness magazine.

 

Exceptional lighting

This is exceptional lighting for the gladiator sandals strong man era.

 

Skating away

"Skating away.  Skating away. Skating away on the thin ice of the new day."

 

Classical vibe

I get a Classical vibe from this one.  Must be the staff.

 

Interesting straps

The back straps on this one are interesting, and they show off those fine glutes beautifully.

 

Snapshot?

My source said this was a snapshot, and if so, it was a good one.  He seems to have 

turned down the waistband to show a bit more flesh, and I don't mind at all.

 

Boxer?

Our last man in a jockstrap may or may not have been a boxer.

 

Come Hither Looks

Today's theme is the "come hither" look, and we start with a Colt photo.

His name may or may not be Tom Dell.

Unknown

I'd really like to see more of this model, but I have no name and no photographer.

 

Navy 1890

The bedroom eyes immediately grabbed me when I first saw this 1890 sailor.

The mustache and cropped beard are nice, too.

 

David Gold

This leather man is David Gold.

Pyotr Krylov

The garters, the loincloth, and the come hither look all combine nicely 

in this photo of 1900-ish wrester and strong man Pyotr Krylov.

 

Rex Morgan

I acquired this enticing photo of Rex Morgan during the sack of tumblr,

but I didn't know it was him until Google told me just now.

 

Mad Men

This guy looks like he could have been in the cast of Mad Men.

 

Inviting

Our last come hither guy is inviting in more ways than one.

 

Darryl Powers Day

Darryl Powers for years was the resident handy man and nude model at the 

Sunshine Beach Club, a nudist resort owned by Walter Kundzicz 

of Champion Studio.  Today we will see ten photos from that operation.

 

Garage Workout

This one was shot in a garage converted to a gym.

 

Reclining

This reclining pose is one of my favorite pictures of Darryl Powers.

 

 

Posing strap

This posing strap photo is from the garage gym session, and it seems odd

since many of those pictures were full frontals.

 

Two Versions

With Buddy Reagan

Buddy Reagan joined Darryl for part of the garage gym photo shoot.

 

Outdoor weights

He's outdoors lifting weights this time.

 

Cowboy Sofa

I find this one to be quite interesting.  It's from a small Darryl Powers cowboy themed set shot in Florida.  The boots are recycled into this photo from a previous wooden soldier shoot with a different model.  Just what the elongated sofa cushion is doing there is anybody's guess.

 

Rowing

There was a small lake at the Sunshine Beach Club, 

and that is where this photo was presumably taken.

 

Back in the Garage

Closing with another shot from the garage workout photo set.
