I remember having some Billard dimples and a couple of waffles in my dad's garage. I bought some weights around ere last year and there a couple of rusty dimples in the lot. Never seen them bigger then 10's either.
What I miss most though are the two sets of unbranded Ivankos with bars and collars and curl bar that he bought at an auction from a Gym that went of business in Boston. Sad it was when I found he out he gave them away. sniff sniff

Really? People actually collect those? I always thought they were butt-ugly! Not sure that I have seen "waffle" or "pyramid" plates, I'll have to keep an eye out.....
People collect all kinds of crap. The key is to find them and make money off of them.
You need a rack, bench and 300-lb. Oly set. Now, what was your question?

That's funny. I guy around here was trying to sell those things for like 6 months, for $50. I had no idea what they were. If I knew they were York.......
I guess I never posted these in here, and I'm not sure if they qualify as Vintage, but it at least gives Ivanko (Unbranded Ivanko) some representation in this thread
Time to revive this thread. Here are some older weights from the 60s and before.
Complete yorks sets amazing !!! Those are some nice complete sets. It would be cool to see a photo of the different Olympic collars next to one another to see how the design changed over the years

Nice those Ivanko collars are the most well built collars ever made . I don't think people realize how heavy duty they are.

Found 4 of these on a Craigslist run today... what would you guys value them at, when do you think they were made?
I had never seen a 100lb standard plate before.
Sorry for the huge upload lol I have no idea how to re-size them in the image tags.
Those were made for decades, up until the 80s, maybe 90s. They were drilled out for Olympic bars too. I have seen Hundos go for 50 cents and up a pound.

Robert Zuver Jr. was selling some of the plates on eBay and Richard Sorin bought them. He subsequently purchased several more of Zuver's plates, to include the 200-lb plates.

Yeah, I talked to Richard Sorin yesterday and he said that he flew out and purchased the 200lb plates personally. From what he indicated, they are the only ones in existence and they were quite expensive. He motioned to a new pickup truck in the booth across from his and said that he could have purchased that truck for less than the plates cost him.
