i got my plates from everywhere. gyms, the manufacterer, the aftermarket, you name it.

My grandfather told me he had exercise as a sickly boy with Eugene Sandow "branded" Indian clubs.
He was in England and born in 1910 so it sounds about right. I'd pay a large amount of money to get my hands on those as they'd inspire the hell out of me, and my young son would see how things are fundamentally still the same.
-
;D look in this old training manual and you'll see all the exercises are the same from the 00's [that's 1900's] to the 50's till now. manual from late 50's.

Yup, bent press. Hey Funk, would this not also be called a "two hands any style lift" because he also has the kettlebell? Olde Tyme Strongmen were the soooo freaking cool. The Saxon brothers were great! I admire your collection, my friend!

some dickhead just reamed me out on ebay saying these plates are only 50 years old and not that historic, i guess haters gotta hate. i'm hardly charging anything for these. wonder what he'd think if he saw the guy trying to sell 2- 30 lb york dbs maybe 20 years old for 6500 dollars R U kidding me.

best thing to do is join ironhistory.com and post pics of the plates guys over there pretty much have every catalog and weight related ,mag myself included. i could help some post pics here and who knows. take bur plates for example at first they were bur-bell than just bur co ranged from 1938 to 1965 so for the newest plates we're talking almost 50 years old.

Very cool looking vintage wt plates.
-
Yes exactly.....they moved the store to Stewartsville after about 3 years....Bridgewater has one of the highest taxes in NJ.....probably why they moved.
