Early AMG duals

The Kamp brothers were the earliest pair published by the Athletic Model Guild. Next came Gene Meyer and Pepper Gomez, followed by Forrester Millard and John Miller. (The first published trio was Millard, Miller, and Tom Thornburg in Miller’s D catalogue.)


Louis Paul and Joe Bloomberg come next, in Album E, along with Angelo Noto and Joe Cuilla. The E catalogue includes another trio: John Balen, Frank Mead, and Fred Servoss.


Considering Mizer’s fondness for groups, these first five album/catalogues get off to a slow start!

Brothers

Good-looking siblings are an aesthetic treat, unlooked-for but welcome. Bob Mizer featured a number of siblings at Athletic Model Guild, beginning with the Kamp brothers and including the Kozaks and the Manningses.


Joe and Jack Kamp (sometimes Kamphuis?) were in the first AMG album, in 1946.
