About this product
These vintage York Barbell 8 lb dumbbells are roundhead style, made of cast iron and iron. They are unisex and designed for bodybuilding and weight lifting. Made in the United States, these vintage pieces are priced at $325.00, reflecting their collector's value. The roundhead design is iconic for classic gym equipment, and these are in usable condition for light exercise.
Our take
I'm a bit torn on these vintage York roundheads. On one hand, they are beautiful pieces of gym history – solid cast iron with that classic round head shape. On the other hand, $325 for 8 lb dumbbells is steep, even for vintage. They are more a collector's item than a practical tool. For light exercises they work fine, but for the price, you could get a whole set of modern dumbbells. If you're a collector or want old-school decor, they're great. For training, pass.
