About this product
This vintage unbranded globe dumbbell weighs 40 lbs and is made of cast iron. It features pancake plates and is designed for bodybuilding, strongman training, and general gym work. Made in the USA with a black finish, this is a single dumbbell. The model is described as pancake plates, indicating a classic style.
Our take
This 40 lb globe dumbbell is a beast. The cast iron construction is heavy duty and the pancake plates give it a unique look. It's clearly a vintage piece, and the unbranded nature might concern some, but it feels solid. At $400, it's a collector's item more than a practical purchase. The handle is thick, which is great for grip strength but might be tough for smaller hands. If you're into old-school strongman training and have the budget, it's a conversation piece. Otherwise, modern options offer more value.
