Bruce for Sale Day

As many of you know, I frequently visit vintage photo online auctions and resale websites.  Recently, hundreds of photos by Bruce of Los Angeles have been turning up, many of which I had not previously seen.  One site in particular was selling as many as 40 prints in a single lot without bothering to name a single model, and some of those guys are quite well known in hobbyist circles.  The part that surprises me most is that I've referred to this site in the past as well curated.  Not any more.  In any case, I'm posting ten of these that are new to me, six of which I have been able to identify.  We start with an unknown black model on a black background.  Wish I knew his name.

 

Bart Horne

Bart Horne is best known for a series of photos in which he posed 

with a bicycle, but I really like this different style photo.

 

Robert Weitknecht

I wish I could find some full frontals of Robert Weitknecht, but so far I've had no luck.

 

Bobby Kennedy

This 1964 photo shows Bobby Kennedy looking like he's holding the moon.

 

Skinny Sword

There's probably a name for that long skinny sword, but I don't know it.

I don't know the name of the model, either.

 

Mike Kevin

This 1971 photo shows Mike Kevin, a model who went on to work for Colt.

 

Statue

The model here looks like one of those black marble statues 

that I saw in Rome a couple of years ago.

 

Mark Nixon

Mark Nixon and his profound tan lines appears with a bamboo staff in this one.

 

Ball and Grass Mat

Two of Bruce Bellas' favorite props, a ball and his checkerboard grass mat, 

appear in this photo of a model whose identity I wasn't able to figure out.

 

Frank Affrunti

I'm not completely sure that out last Bruce for Sale model is by Bruce.  A search brought up the name Frank Affrunti, and this looks like him.  The problem?  All the other photos of Mr. Affrunti that I've been able to find are by Lon of New York.  This does, however, look like Bruce Bellas' work, and several models were known to have moved from New York to California in the 1950s.

Legs

Those of you who like legs will no doubt appreciate this one.

I keep looking at the two liquor bottles on the floor.

 

Majestic

Suddenly, I'm thinking "majestic."

 

Trio II

Why do two of these guys have their heads tilted?

 

 

AMG Lookalike

Is it just me, or does this one make you think of an AMG lookalike?

 

Poolside

I thought this poolside number might be amateur,

but if so, I think it was a talented amateur.

 

Puzzler

This last one puzzles me as to era.  The piled up hair might be a clue.

 

Hairy Nudist Day

Today we will be looking at some hairy nudists,

starting with this fellow with a satisfied look.

 

Splendor

I call this one "Hairy Splendor in the Grass."

 

Designs

I think that devious looking female has designs on our furry nudist.

 

Middle Aged

I really like this photo of a middle aged man

who seems to be checking a list.

 

Obstructed

The folded arms obstruct our view of the chest pelt, but you still get the impression.

 

Australians

These two hairy seniors are Australian naturists.

 

Least

Here we have what is probably the least hairy of today's men.

I do think, however, that he still qualifies for the set.

 

Smile

I don't know what he's looking down at, but it made him smile.

Mirror, mirror

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the hairiest of all?"

Gotta be our final nudist of the day.
