I just received a package in the mail that contained a pair of ship wheel collars. These were a gift from a fellow member on here and they are greatly appreciated. I plan to keep them on my reverse hyper so that they're not being moved around a lot. Love having a home gym full of vintage York equipment!

Call me lucky - some USA stamped DBs covered with a little drywall dust.

Lucky you! Does that finish up your set? I know you were looking for a 100.

Thanks! Yes, I no longer need that single 100. Thanks Tally.

I don't have all the X5 increments. I'm happy with just 10-100.

Sboarder, sent you a PM.Thanks.

Sweet . Red ones are "better" than black ones and if anybody deserves them it is you . They also look like are in very good condition given the age.

I think we need to put together a list of York's Olympic barbells, starting from the 1930's, working up until the 1990's and Iron Wolfe.

Great idea, you can do it.

I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding these York plates. I can't seem to find any mention of these plates aside from Vinko's post in 2015 about York grip plates. Morebarbell (post #344) posted a picture from "The Evolution of Ideas" article and BrotherLo (post #349) posted a picture of weights resembling mine but as the kg variant. Very interested in learning more about the history behind these, if any. Thank you!

I would ping Ivan and ask him directly. The plates are on a poster of Ivanko's and I think Dr. Ken may have written about the plates as well.

[QUOTE=smokinHawk;1362426311]moving this over here to get my number

ok Might as well get a number, my favorite pound plates I have, Pre USA stamped. I need to restore them some, when I got them they were painted silver. The owner thought the marcy grip plates were the good ones when he was selling the weight.

Nice!

Thank you for your recommendation. Greatly appreciate it!

Just curious if your grip plates are milled or not?

Unfortunately, no milling marks. Would be nice though!

I found these York 20 kg plates. How much would these usually sell for? Just curious.

To answer your question, and not disappoint my favorite sock puppet, 70's-80's York Kg plates aren't that rare or hard to find. You can go onto eBay and look at some really ridiculously priced auctions--one clown had plates like these listed for $2,000--but they really are maybe 1.25 to 2 times the going rate for regular (pounds) York Oly plates of the same era. Are there some out there who will pay more? Sure there are. I'm talking average going price for plates.

Thanks! So, what is the current rate for regular pound York plates? Sorry, I've been out of the game for several years.

Take some initiative and find out for yourself. Do you even google bro?

Yorks go above the going rate for run-of-the-mill Olympic plates, which is 50 cents a pound. Low end is 75 cents to a dollar a pound. As always, rates vary by condition and location.

Happy Holidays, brother! You're still on the list. I'll check it twice and put you back on if you're not.

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.

These are indeed Canadian, there is a very faint "CANADA" stamped on the face. Found a couple more pairs of these 45s and a pair of 35s. One pair of 45s is a really low quality casting, but they came with the 35s so whatever. Not that collectible, but they are decent plates with a bit of the deep dish flavour.

Nice plates.
