Notes on a theme

1,000th post

 My first post, back in February 2024, featured Forrester Millard in AMG’s Album A. Here he is in successive variety and solo albums:

With John Miller in Album B. Note the hand-drawn loin cloths.

Solo, in Album C.

Seaside in Album G.

With some vital statistics in Album J.

On the rocks in Album M.

Resting on velvet in Album R.

On the go in Album ZB.

More notes on the Thousand Model Directory

Pat Wilton is catalogued as Z 10, placing him in Ben Sorensen’s Z album, but he belongs with Rodhe in the A album. As Gene Eberle and Forrester Millard have their own (later) albums, they are noted in the signature AMG style as having a place in the A13 album/catalogue.

Frank Delos Coates is in the B album, but he is misplaced in the directory as B 9 (“F. Coates”) when he should be B 10.

Bill Harris fell out of the E album (I’ve seen instances where his image was effaced or disguised); he appears in the directory out of alphabetical order, hinting at loss and reclamation. 

Bob Meinhart, also in Album E, appears as Charles Meinhart in the directory.

Role-play

Mount Mizer revisited

The ZF variety dual album and catalogue was scheduled for release in May 1949, the earliest date I can readily access for the Athletic Model Guild’s publishing program. Thereafter, up through late 1951, one can cobble together a timeline for AMG releases in the ZA-ZZ series. 

I had thought ZP and ZQ were the earliest instances of “Mount Mizer” appearing as a modeling setting, but a review of my own photo albums sets me straight: Forrester Millard is shown in his own ZB catalogue

as is Gene Eberle in the ZD catalogue.

John Winship, whose ZH album and catalogue was to be published in July 1949, was also photographed on Mount Mizer.
