Vulcan Studio Day

Today's Vulcan Studio series begins with Derek Dean emerging from his shower.

 

Jim Stryker I

In the first of two appearances today, we see jim Stryker in an apartment doorway.

 

Three Unknowns

I don't have names for any of these three Vulcan models.

 

Steve Wengryn I

Draping hides the goods in this shot of Steve Wengryn,

but we'll see him fully nude later in today's series.

 

Unknown

This unknown model posed in the same apartment doorway as several other Vulcan models.

 

Unknown

Vulcan took an artsy turn with this unknown model.

 

Photography Lessons

This is one of the opening pages for an instructional piece Anthony Guyther did.

 

Jim Stryker II

Jim Stryker did most of his work for Champion,

but my source says this one is by Vulcan.

I'm not at all sure about that.

 

Frank Lombardo

The conventional wisdom is that Frank Lombardo was a high

 end hustler when he started modeling for Vulcan.

 

Kip Behar

Kip Behar got his start with Vulcan at age 16 in New York,

but this photo looks like it was made when he was older.

 

Mark Nixon

This is Mark Nixon from a magazine page.

 

Steve Wengryn II

I'm not positive about the Vulcan attribution for our second picture of Steve Wengren tuday.

 

Random . . . sorta

Today's beef is mostly, but not all, random.  We start with a photo that I've seen attributed 

to Bruce Bellas, but the gentleman who did so said it was just a hunch.

This one looks like a guy who's coming off a rough night out.

 

Reaching

The model here is reaching for something.

 

All over the place

Google was all over the place with this one,

producing results from 1963 to 1990.

 

Thighs

This is supposed to be from 1912, but that's all I know about it,

except that I like it a whole lot.  Must be those thighs.

Oh, and the stripes.  I like stripes.

 

Poland 1973

This is cropped from an unknown magazine from 1973.

The model is listed as from Poland.

 

Star quality

This hairy and bushy fellow who looks to be from 1975-85 has star quality.

 

Too good

This one seems too good to just be an amateur snapshot,

but I suppose that it might be.

 

Atlas

Google provided the provenance for this one, but I'm leaving it in the series.

What we have here is the immortal Charles Atlas on a 1929 post card.

 

Wishing for more

This is another one that leaves me wishing for more.

 

Boating Day

Today's theme is men in and around boats.

We start with a color photo from a nudist magazine.

 

Amateur?

This one looks like an amateur snapshot.

 

Dave Martin?

This is a repeat post from six years ago.  Back then I thought it might 

have been by Dave Martin, but I never came across any proof.

 

Bulges

I almost put this one into a bulges themed set a while back, but saved it for now.

 

Skipper

Several of you would probably gladly join this skipper for a cruise.

 

Blond

Here we have a lanky blond.

 

Group

This looks like a fun loving group, and I wish I had been along for the ride.

 

Coca Cola

This seafarer has just finished a bottle of Coca Cola.

He may be the best looking man of the series.

 

Charlie Ram

Rob G. of Houston sent me this and says it's Charlie Ram by Bruce of LA.

 

The end

For some of you, I've saved the best for the end.
