About this product
This vintage wooden dumbbell set includes two 1 lb dumbbells, manufactured pre-1930, likely around 1900. They are simple, lightweight weights ideal for light grip strength or as historical decor. At $20.00, they are an affordable entry point for those interested in antique fitness equipment.
Our take
I bought these mostly out of curiosity—vintage 1 lb wooden dumbbells from around 1900. They're exactly what you'd expect: small, light, and purely a conversation piece. At $20, they're cheap for antiques, but don't expect to get a workout. The wood is smooth but uncoated, and the weight is negligible. They're fun to display but if you need actual dumbbells, look elsewhere.
