Early 20th Century Men

Here's another batch of early 20th Century nude men, 

and we start with a well built fellow with a scythe.

 

Historic Mustaches

I found this online in a group of photos labeled "historic mustaches."

The mustache was not the first thing I noticed.

 

Candid Camera

I really like this surprise shot of a young man doing his ablutions in the snow.

 

French or German?

A French physical education review used this photo,

but it was made by Helios in Munich in 1907.

 

Old favorite

This was a viewer favorite on my old tumblr blog.

I'd love to spend a weekend with these four.

 

Barn door?

I can't tell if that's the door to a barn or a vault,

but I'm positive that this is a well built man.

 

Signal

This guy looks like he's trying to signal something.

 

Tan

This sturdy looking fellow has what we called a ditchdigger tan back in Texas.

 

Comforting

This one reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live sketch where they comforted Miles.

 

Study in Muscles

Our closing image is the very appropriately titled "A Study in Muscles."

 

Colt in Color

I'm posting an all color Colt Studio set today,

and we start with Mike West in the shower.

 

Sam Dekker

Nick West

If Nick West ever made a bad picture, I haven't seen it.

 

John Corvello

You've seen John Corvello here on the blog before, mostly in Playgirl sets.

This may be Playgirl as well, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

John Pruitt

John Pruitt looks good atop that rock wall.

 

Billie Lee Barnes

This picture of Bille Lee Barnes is in a group of recent Colt finds I made on line.

I'll post some more of his work in some future series.

 

Bruce Van Allen

OK, I can't do this and not mention the gay clone helmet hair,

but there's plenty to like about this shot of Bruce Van Allen.

 

Steve Kelso

Neal Kennit

This is Neal Kennit with his rope and sixpack.

 

Pete Kuzak

Leaving you with Pete Kuzak in a pose that looks somewhat askew, but works anyway.

 

Dave Martin Day

I try to get a Dave Martin series on at least quarterly, and I'm right on time for once.

We start with Gary Dexter in Mr. Martin's favorite bayside location.

 

Bob Miller

It was 1953 when Dave Martin took this photo of a broadly smiling Bob Miller.

 

Fred Jensen

Mr. Martin posed Fred Jensen quite effectively on a rock outcropping for this picture.

 

Norman Tousley

I like the way the bamboo screen splits the background 

in this photo of the always pleasing Norman Tousley.

 

Don Robinson

We get a cheeky grin from Don Robinson in another iconic bayside location.

 

Jay Holt

Dave Martin didn't photograph that many men is the shower,

but when he did, he did it well as here with Jay Holt.

 

Wayne Stribling

Dave Martin got the shade and light just right for this shot of Wayne Stribling.

 

Pete Lee

I can only describe Pete Lee in this photo as a solid slab of muscle.

 

Gene Stanley

Gene Stanley looks like he perched on a fallen log in the woods for this one.

 

John Silva

Our last Dave Martin photo features John Silva from a memorable photo shoot in a Mid-Century Modern motel room.  Those curtains are nothing less than classic, and Mr. Silva is charming.
