With Burmel Publishing under investigation, Burtman and Himmel began publishing in New Jersey under new imprints. Here is a list of some of their publications that were part of the Private Case collection.
After Leonard Burtman discontinued publication of his now-legendary "Exotique" (magazine) in 1959, he introduced "Satana", "Leg Show", "Bizarre Life", "Corporal", "Three", "Stocking Parade", and others, including "High Heels". His 60’s publications had more and larger pages and better photography.
From Private Case Part C
COLLECTION OF PERIODICALS.[A Collection of periodicals and illustrated booklets for the most part concerned with erotic bondage and such related fancies as high heels, corsets, and women wrestling in mud. Mostly these are of American origin, some apparently being duplicate copies of works housed in the Kinsey Institute and presented by them to the British Library. A few items in this collection, being mimeographed or duplicated "correspondance" magazines, are English. Providing dates for those items that were published without dates is rather difficult, and where attempted here caution should be shown before accepting these guesses as correct.]
