About this product

Spalding wood wooden dumbbells from 1920, each weighing 1.5 lb. These are fixed weight, vintage exercise equipment. The brand Spalding is well-known in sports. Made of wood, they are a pair of antique weights for weight lifting. A classic piece of fitness history.

Our take

I was excited to see Spalding on these wooden dumbbells from 1920. They're lightweight at 1.5 lb each, but the brand heritage is strong. The wood is in good shape for its age, and they feel like a piece of history. For actual training, they're too light for most, but they work for very light toning or rehab. The fixed weight design is simple and durable. I'd recommend these more for collectors or as decor in a home gym. The price is reasonable for a vintage Spalding item. Just don't expect modern performance from a century-old dumbbell.
