Opinions Older York Oly Bar

[woodlake]

I just picked up an older york oly bar and four 45 pound Ivanko plates for $100 and I'd like others opinions on the bar. The bar has the pinned split collars/sleeves, and no center knurl. Although the knurling that it has feels really nice.

They've probably made a lot of different bars over the years. It might help if you post some pics.

I got 3 pinned york bars from a highschool in August and I'm curious about them too...but there aren't any identifiers so I never tried. I was just happy knowing that the bars weighed pretty close to the 45 lbs they're supposed to and because of their construction were better quality than my typical 300lb set bar.

I'd pay $100 for 4 Ivanko plates without the bar.
