York Barbell Club - Part II

[AttyGuy]

Nice.

[EricAtl]

Took the grandkids back home to Columbus so naturally planned my trip around three different stops for some great buys.



Here's the 35 lb plates after a bath and a good coat of oil.

Nice clean up on the 35s

[irongrandpa]

Thought I'd bump this thread back to page 1. I MAY have an addiction, I don't need these, don't know yet where I'll use them but couldn't leave them behind. Picked up a pair of 100's, a pair of 75's , a single 45, and a pair of 25's.

Very nice pickup, no York left behind.

Are 45lb plates with the york "K" looking something like this "l <" where the legs of K are not touching anything special? May drive out to pick them up but I'm wondering if it's worth the time.

I've recently caught the york bug after picking up 320lb of milled pre USA stamped plates. There's so much info in this thread and I appreciate all the effort people have put into this.

Cheap, Chinese-made chit.

What's the going rate ($/lb) for RHs? Just picked up pairs of 60s, 70s, and 90s for a steal.

Atty will fill you in. He'll take you under his wing and give you all the inside secrets.

Depends if you are buying or selling. If you are buying, a good deal is 50 cents/pound, but I have paid less and other times more than that.

If you are selling,

Jelly Belly? Bulk more, post less.

There's your answer. If they'd been Globes, I'd go with Six-hunnit-fiddy.

Picked up a pair of York 45s yesterday, as well as a couple of pairs of random unbranded 50s. The 45s have York stamped on them twice. I searched the York Plates Google doc and couldn't find any info on them. I searched both YBBC threads and found a couple mentions of them, but not much else.

Apparently these are Canadian? They have three spokes, not milled or lathed, and they have 5% weight tolerances. About 440mm in diameter. Would love to know more about where they came from and how old they might be.

[AttyGuy]

Not that old, not that collectible.

Like everything, that varies by region. I can unload the USA stamped ones in common denominations pretty quickly at $1/lb, but as much as $1.50/lb if I don't mind sitting on them for awhile. For pre-USA and the less common size USA stamps (70+), I can offload them at $1.50/lb pretty quickly and go up to $2/lb if I don't mind them gathering dust for a bit.

Good to know. I plan on keeping them for now. Paid $160 for all 3 sets and a beat up DB rack.

Selling the rack for $60, so net net I will have paid ~ $.23/lb for the weights.

edit: they're USA stamped

I’m sure this is been discussed before but I can’t find it. I have some USA marked 45 plates and some unmarked 45 plates. The unmarked plates are about a quarter of an inch larger than the USA plates. Both types are milled.

Does that make my unmarked plates an earlier, contemporary or later vintage than the USA plates? The style is virtually the same between the two. Why is there a size difference?

Thanks,
Patrick

There are two full threads (this one included) with lots of information. Read them both. Part of the answer is that the shorter plates are mid-90's plates.

I spy, with my little eye.... What?

[vintageironlife]

Just picked up my 9’s last week to complete my Pre RH full set and just picked these up today for my second set of DD’s.

Finally.

I’ve met tons of cool people and will continue to hunt for the old iron. Thanks everyone for the answered questions and guidance!

Attyguy, thanks for making it interesting!

Nice list. Double Ds for me please.

[AttyGuy]

We should do a call for members first. Who else besides the "49 Club" member, vintageironlife?

[jshaw5]

What is considered a full set of Kg plates? It's a pair of 20's and 2 pairs each of 10's, 5's, 2.5's, and 1.25's right? I am still looking for more, but I have one full set and just short of a second.

[BulkMore]

Why isnt matrix included in this list? Surley someone who strips york bars down to the bare metal should be included in the elite club. I should also get an honorary mention since I had 2 pairs of DD and sold them for green backs.

Yes, that's correct.

This one time, in band camp, a band member decided to quit the band. He went to a camp counselor, who removed his name from the band roster. The counselor also counseled other band members. The former band member still shows up at band camp and posts pics of horns and other musical instruments that he bought in the second-hand market. The band ignores him and carries on with their lives.


You get nothing Bulkmore, but the admonition to bulk more and post less.

if you assigned the # to someone else then maybe you.could say youve moved on with your life

but thats none of my business 🐸

[vhd16]

Assume it is York. Forgot what is called. If it is not York then let me know, Still cool piece for all types of curling 😀

Sleeves are held by set screws so should be easy to clean .
