About this product
This pair of antique wooden dumbbells from the late 1800s measures 9.5 inches and features a medium wood tone. They are original, unsigned primitive-style tools, likely used for hand weights. Sold by a dealer or reseller, these vintage pieces serve as historical decor or collectibles.
Our take
I grabbed these antique dumbbells for their rustic charm rather than any workout use. At 9.5 inches and from the Victorian era, they're more conversation piece than gym equipment. The wood has a nice patina that shows age, but one has a slight crack. As decor, they add a cool historical touch to my shelf. Just don't expect to lift with them.
