    It's hard to tell from the photos, but at least the 45lb plates are NOT York (at least the ones that are visible). The plates in the photos only have 3 spokes. York DD plates have 4 spokes. They...

    Gene, ,cleaned up, that bar will be great for your home gym. I suggest taking the sleeves off and cleaning out the bushings. Use paper towels to wipe up as much gunk as you can and then use steel...

    ndmike - those 35s are older. I have a pair of unmilled 35s/25s/etc. It's hard to say when they are from, but could be 50s/60s perhaps even 40s. Do they have lathe marks on them - ie concentric...

    I know. Though from what I hear, Hoffman was more into weightlifting and not crazy about bodybuilding. That was more of a Weider thing.

    Rare than the 1930s plates. Nothing makes you wanna pump iron more than a snazzy 90's era logo. I could see these fitting in nicely in Bruno's Gym.
