About this product
This is a vintage York Barbell Roundhead Dumbbell weighing 8 lb, a single fixed-weight dumbbell made of cast iron in the USA. It features the classic roundhead style and is black in color. Priced at $64.00, it's targeted at collectors or those wanting a lightweight dumbbell for rehabilitation or light training. Suitable for unisex adults.
Our take
I grabbed this 8 lb York roundhead for lighter work and rehabilitation. It's a single dumbbell, so keep that in mind. The cast iron is well-made and has a nice vintage patina. At $64, it's a bit pricey for an 8 lb dumbbell, but for vintage York collectors, it's a good find. It's solid and feels great in hand. The roundhead doesn't roll as easily as you might think, but it's not as stable as hex. Overall, a nice piece of gym memorabilia that also functions perfectly for light exercises.
