Very nice set of early vintage dumbbells from the early to mid 1900's. Complete with 24 disks. Each disk is cast iron and weighs slightly under 1 pound. Hand grips are also cast iron and wing screws can be screwed in and out to hold any number of disks. All original and complete. I can ship this flat rate in the US but be careful with shipping rate if you are an overseas customer. Great vintage weight equipment for a weight room. Also, very usable.
