About this product
This is an old set of 3 lb cast iron 'Bun Head' dumbbells, presumably vintage. Each dumbbell weighs 3 lbs, and the set includes two dumbbells for a total of 6 lbs. Made of cast iron, they are designed for weight lifting. The vintage aspect may appeal to collectors or those seeking a classic look.
Our take
These vintage 'Bun Head' dumbbells have a charming old-school aesthetic that stands out from modern rubber-coated sets. The cast iron feels solid, and at 3 lbs each, they're perfect for high-rep arm work or rehab. However, the lack of knurling means they can get slippery with sweaty hands. The price is reasonable for a vintage pair, but expect some rust or wear due to age. If you're after a conversation piece or a light set for curls, these fit the bill, but don't expect modern ergonomics.
