About this product
This pre-World War II vintage dumbbell is made from solid wood, possibly maple, and weighs approximately 1.5 pounds. Unbranded and made in the USA, it has a brown finish. As an antique, it's suitable for light exercise or display.
Our take
I was drawn to this pre-WWII wooden dumbbell for its history and American origin. At about 1.5 pounds, it's light enough for curls but definitely shows its age. The wood is solid, and I love the idea that it's survived since the 1930s or earlier. It's not a precision tool, but for nostalgic workouts it works fine. If you're looking for something authentic and functional as a light hand weight, this is a decent buy at $24.99.
