About this product
A pair of turned wood dumbbells, each 1/4 pound, with green painted stripes and red trim. Dating from the 1930s/1940s, these are original antique items. The style is antique, material is wood, and the maker is unknown. They feature colorful painted accents.
Our take
These tiny dumbbells are charming antiques from the 30s/40s, but at 1/4 pound each, they're practically toys. The green painted stripes and red trim are eye-catching and well-preserved. They're turned wood, which is nicely done, but they're not for any real exercise. I'd call them decor or maybe for very light wrist work. The price of $60 seems high for the weight, but for a collector of vintage fitness gear, they might be worth it. If you want to actually lift, skip these. They're more of a nostalgic piece than a functional tool.
