Unknown Model Photographed by Al Urban

I have held onto several photographs of unknown models taken by Al Urban, who began advertising his images of male nudes in the nascent bodybuilder magazines of the 1930's. Urban was born in 1917, worked in the New Jersey and New York areas, and passed away in 1992.

As I post them to the blog, I hope readers can help me identify these unknown models, since I've had no luck to date.

I think this model is quite handsome and suspect these photographs were taken in the 1930's.
