The Vintage Male Physique

 I was doing some research into gay news magazine and found this site: https://www.houstonlgbthistory.org Full issues have been scanned in and it is a treasure trove of history.  One particularly fun publication is the Gay Coloring Book .  The site is a bit hard to navigate but quite fun.

 Here are four new ones I've obtained. Two unknown models - the first has a great body and the pose with the dagger is something else.  Not the most handsome face.  Below is an excellent example of Bob using glass to get those lovely background lighting effects.  Excellent pose and overall composition.  A real treasure! An odd pose for AMG.  Love the sailor's cap and below, this one didn't develop very well, but was a good composition regardless.  Both models are unknown.
