Nope.. And I'm a collector of vintage Iron. I spoke to Jean (Zuver) recently, she has a bunch in storage.
A pair went for $5,000 recently, so she's making some money in her retirement.

If I were rich, with no kids, 1K isnt a big deal. Kids getting ready for college, 1K is a huge deal...
Much more important than old iron..

I`d love them,but the shipping to England would be too much on top of that price,love everything about Zuvers.If they had some of the 100lbers for sale i might be tempted.

I was watching teh WSM documentary that was posted the other day.

IOne of teh exercises was a forearm roller type exercise and they were using the 100lb plates

Also are those things balanced? if not they are pretty useless and all for show.

They're really nice plates, and I love odd ball stuff like that, but the most I'd go is maybe $5/6 a pound. That being said, I bet one of the big collectors snaps them up, they're in great shape, and you've got the direct from the family connection.

Goudy, they're built like quality regular weights, and I've seen guys that lifted there, and they never mentioned them being odd or off for the smaller sizes. They have mentioned no really used the giant sizes though.

Ah cool.

The weights in my gym were made in teh shipyard where Titanioc was built.

They are the haviest most awkward weights ever. Also the bars they made are sold steel or iron and have no bend even with 600+ lbs loaded on them.

When I tried an olympic bar after using these a few years I was able to "lift more weight"
