About this product
This is a vintage pair of wooden dumbbells from the early 1900s, marked with the sport 'Olympics' and the team 'Houston Astros'. The dumbbells are made of wood and show signs of age, making them a collectible item for antique fitness enthusiasts. Priced at $39.99, they are sold as vintage items, not for regular workout use.
Our take
I stumbled upon these early 1900s wooden dumbbells and had to have them for my collection. They have a lovely patina and feel like a piece of history. The 'Olympics' and 'Houston Astros' markings add character, even if the Astros connection seems anachronistic. That said, don't expect to use them for actual lifting—they're lightweight and likely fragile. The wood has some cracks, which is expected for their age. At $40, they're a cool conversation piece, but not functional gym equipment.
