    Very likely, Unknown didn't click for the high-res image our host generously provided.

    The design is made of smoking pipes in profile, specifically the type known as "half-bent".

    What's far more interesting is the choice of model. Outside of pro body-builders (which this gent clearly is not), very few men shaved their legs, chest and armpits.

    It's a German-language page which raises all sorts of fascinating questions about the extent of our host's catalog collection.

    Someone sent me this photo…can anyone identify the model on the left? Perhaps he was well known in Europe back in the day.
