Case Dis-missed
Al Leslie for Louis F. Dow Co., November 1948, #B45049
Al Leslie was the pseudonym used by Al Buell when he produced pin-up art for the Louis F. Dow Co. in the 1940s. Al Buell’s middle name not coincidentally happened to be “Leslie.” Al Buell produced pin-up art for the Gerlach-Barklow Company and later for Brown & Bigelow using his real name. See Who’s Afraid?

See a pin and pick it up
Possibly by James Montgomery Flagg for Osborne Co., c. 1940s
The artist signed this pin-up simply “Montgomery.” The signature appears to closely resemble the style of James Montgomery Flagg’s signature. Oftentimes accomplished artists signed their pin-up art more “cryptically” than their mainstream and more famous paintings using just their last name and sometimes even a pseudonym. Contribute in the comments if you can confirm this art was by James Montgomery Flagg or if you know it is another artist with the name Montgomery. Thanks!
