About this product
A pair of antique one-piece solid cast iron dumbbells. One weights 16 lb 8 oz and the other 16 lb 6 oz, so slightly mismatched. They are vintage and unbranded, designed for weight lifting. The one-piece construction means they are forged as a single unit. Suitable for collectors or light exercise.
Our take
These antique dumbbells are quirky: they're mismatched by 2 ounces, which is a bit annoying if you're a stickler for symmetry. They feel solid and well-made for their age, but the round heads mean they'll roll if you put them down. The one-piece construction is nice—no loose plates. At $41.99 for the pair, they're a decent deal for vintage weights. However, for serious training, the weight difference and lack of grip make them less ideal. I'd recommend them more as decorative pieces or for light, non-precision work.
