About this product
This pair of antique wooden dumbbells dates from 1900-1940 and weighs half a pound each. They are original pieces from an unknown maker, in brown wood. Sold as a pair, these are extremely light and intended for collectors of vintage fitness memorabilia.
Our take
These antique dumbbells are tiny—half a pound each. They're a pair, so you get two, but they're essentially miniature. The historical appeal is strong, with great patina and craftsmanship from the early 20th century. However, they're useless for any real exercise. At $85, the price is steep for what they are, but collectors might find them valuable. If you're into vintage gym gear, they're a neat curio.
