About this product
This vintage YORK BARBELL 20 lb. dumbbells pair, known as the BUNS model, is a standard cast iron set made in the USA. With a classic black finish, these dumbbells are designed for bodybuilding, gym training, and weight lifting. The item weight is listed as 20 X 2, meaning two 20 lb dumbbells (40 lbs total). They are unisex and not personalized or signed. A vintage piece for collectors or those seeking old-school iron.
Our take
I've been lifting with vintage York dumbbells for years, and these BUNS models don't disappoint. The cast iron construction feels solid and the knurling is basic but functional. At 20 lbs each, they're perfect for high-rep sets or isolation work. The vintage factor adds character, though you might find the finish a bit rough compared to modern coatings. For $250, you're paying for collectibility as much as utility. If you want authentic old-school feel, these deliver. Just be ready for the raw iron look.
