W&B?

At first glance, you might think this is a photo from a Wyngate & Bevins film.  Well, it might be, but I don't think so.  

It is a nice photo of some handsome men in the outdoors.  

See Cambria's note.  Apparently this is from Earl Forbes.

1940s

Howard Eastman by Earl Forbes in the 1940s.  He made the cover of a few muscle mags back then, but his photos were always censored.  Apparently Howard didn't have a problem taking off the pouch.

Masculine Perfection

The always impressive Tony Sansone by Earl Forbes. 

Back in my Tumblr days I posted many photos of this guy.  Whenever I see one of his photos I'm reminded that Charles Atlas once called him the most beautiful man in the world.

TBD

Just one post today, but man it's a big one!  (Where have I heard that before?)

Today I'm posting a large group of photos that were thrown into my unofficial "To Be Determined" folder that I have not been able to...well, determine.  There's a nice mix of models in this post, so pour yourself another cup of coffee (or scotch) and see if you can be the next contestant on Name That Model.  We double points if you can identify the photographer. 

We start with a handsome devil who I'm sure will check off a few boxes out there.  If it helps, vintage_fan thinks this is from Earl Forbes. 


He looks familiar. I have the same photo in black and white. 

Handsome guy. 

Possibly a Pat Milo photo. 

Smoking hot. 

Brian says this is Bob Miller. 

If this was his first
 time, he's a natural in front of the camera. 

Brian says this is Dick Fernley whom I've posted before. This Is dated Sept 1948!!

Ben Markley. Thanks Brian! 

At first I thought AMG. But now I think it's some other photographer. 

Dennis Lyster, aka Harv.  Brian got the name. 

Buck Youngblood by Western Photography Guild.  Thanks vintage_fan_1952. 

It was that night the frat house learned Steve had a hoodie. 

I'm going to think of his name soon. You may want to take a seat. 

Jim Warren by Dave Martin. Thanks BB. 

A Bruce King model who kind of looks like a young Bruce Springsteen.  

I think Colt is a good guess here.  RJ tells us this is Joey Arena.
