Mixed eras


The Milo Bar Bell Co. put a jockstrap on an ancient Greek warrior.  It would probably have
 gotten him thrown out of his phalanx . . . or asked out on a date by a prescient fetishist.

  1. Another early strap... with a Classical theme to boot. Rubber elastic - as it was originally known - was a Victorian invention and I fancy that the leg straps started to narrow when manufacturing became more efficient and the elastic afforded more support.

    1. Yes, very early. I read somewhere that there was an early 20th C. British woman commercial artist who did a lot of such adverts. I wonder if this is one of hers?
