Little Help - Part 1

Today I'm posting approximately two dozen photos where I am unable to identify the model.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  


1. Let's start with a Bruce of LA model who's had me stumped for some time now. 



2. This one is going to be difficult. 

3. Art Barnes by Pat Milo. Thanks to Brian. 


4. Edward Geisler.  Thanks Brian! 


5. Long and lean.  I'm talking about the model's frame.  Possibly amateur. 


6. I'm guessing a 27 inch waist. 

7. He looks comfortable. 

8. My guess is Russian, circa 1900.

  2. #4 The surname is Geisler. I hadn't remembered I had two photos (out of a total of 6) that name him and spell it that way.

  3. Last photo is a Russian postcard of Jensen by Karpov ca. 1900s.
    Jensen is either a wrestler, strongman or bodybuilder.
    From 1890 to 1914 postcards were a big business in Russia, selling from 1 kopek to 5 rubles - 1/2 a cent to $2.50. Back then 5 rubles would be one weeks wage for a laborer in St Petersburg. -rj
