Nebraska 1948


Our last 1940s physique photo is supposedly from a trip Bruce Bellas, aka Bruce of LA, 
made back to his home state of Nebraska in 1948.  Although some of the models 
are named for the group of photos this came from, I don't have one for this guy.

  1. Great assortment of physiques and photographers. As always, your site a great way to start the day! I have this guy in the Bruce of L.A. photograph listed as Johnny Mango. Enjoy the day.

  2. I'd like to see more of BOLA's trip to Nebraska. Where could I look?

  3. My favorite photo of the day. The shadows are superb. Jerry, I will just comment on another photo, because black backgrounds and oily bodies are not really for me. But for fans, this is an excellent series

  4. Jerry, I have 12 more photos of Johnny Mango. I'll send them all to you. They are a nice mix of indoor and outdoor poses. Unfortunately 2 have watermarks, but the rest more than make up for those.

  5. Nice photo of a very handsome man. But Nebraska in 1948? Circumcision was nearly universal then in the U.S., and this guy looks like he has his 'skin.

    1. There were exceptions. I had gym classes with guys in the 60s who were uncut.
