You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

York USA Plates Older
I have some old york USA olympic plates. I dont know what they are worth and was wondering if you could shine some light on them for me. I bought a bunch of them off of an older gentlemen who had kept them in his basement dry and safe for about 30-40 years. Please just let me know! Thank you! I attached a picture.

Looks like unmarked (1940's) change plates and split sleeve bar for sale in Missouri, but it could just be a bad photo and they're actually milled (5s, 10s, 25s).

I'm new to vintage York dumbbells, but I think I'm off to a pretty good start.
I didn't have a single vintage York dumbbell until 3 1/2 weeks ago. I responded to a month old post on Offerup back in December and didn't expect a response. The seller unexpectedly sent me a message in mid February asking if I was still interested. I ended up getting 1220 lbs. of dumbbells for $35. About 750 lbs were vintage York's and I was hooked. I've since added to the collection through a bit of searching marketplace, and some luck.
I'm trying to restore them when I get any free time, but I'm in the process of putting together a gym in the basement so it's been a slow process. Hopefully I'll learn a lot by reading through this board.

After my last two finds I now have an extra 75, 65, 40, and pairs of 35 and 30. I've been buying and flipping since early December and have spent on just that stuff $1735 and sold stuff for $1685, but I've got to keep a lot of the items that I really wanted and still have more to sell. Of that total $600 was for 625 lbs of dumbbells this week, and 575 of that were vintage York's.

They never stopped selling them: https://yorkbarbell.com/product/deep...olympic-plate/
They are not the classic made-in-usa plates. York has been making these since early 2000sYork History - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dbRIGo0tZlrume27s3jusN2gtuEfLgQXOt1UPTZUfnI/edit

Not mine, a friend found this (single) 55 lb milled era plate. Not milled. Looks identical to 25kg, but I've never seen the LB version before!

I feel like an idiot posting here, but I was hoping someone could give me some insight regarding vintage York weights. I searched the forums last night and I'm more lost than when I started. Obviously I'm embarrassed to admit that I know less than nothing about York Barbell Company and it's products...they've always been way out of my price range and all the plates look identical to me (Lol!). I'm making an effort to learn though.
The pics I've uploaded show a well used vintage York weight set consisting of a "300 lb weight set" (it's actually only 245 lbs plus the bar). I'm not even certain if all the plates shown were actually produced by York or not. From the pics you can see that some plates show the numbers stamped larger or smaller than others, the colors of the plates range from yellow, green, black (or red) with green painted over the top, even one pair of plates that are red on one side and green on the other. The barbell appears to be 1" and about 5' in length.
Now my questions...
1) Does this appear to be a complete weight set as you could have purchased it back in "the day", or is this just a small collection pieced together by someone (as I'm assuming)? I understand York used several colors on their standard plates for a period of time, but I'd think they wouldn't vary colors so much within a single weight set. Clearly the numbers are stamped in various fonts/sizes as well.
2) Is it possible to place a general "age" on these items with any form of accuracy (and does it even matter in the first place with York being so popular and readily available?)?
3) What is considered an honest "fair market value" (or even a low/high price range???) for this weight set? Trying to use Ebay and Craigslist last night to estimate this on my own just bummed me out.
4) Does anybody else think those Holdtite collars are too cool for school???? I can't believe collars like those didn't get lost or broken over the years.
Thank you, I appreciate the help!***Everybody pities the weak....but jealousy, you have to earn!***
