    On of the first gyms I worked out in in 1979 (base gym at CFB St Hubert, Quebec)had the York deep dish plates and the ship wheel collars, although they did have a piece broken off on each of the collars. they also had long leather covered incline benches that you stood up in, they had pedals where your feet went to keep you from sliding down. And they also had metal dumbells up to 50 pounds a piece that were round balls at each end. The equipment would have all been purchased after WW2 in the 40s and 50s.

    I have some of the old York equipment from back in the day and like you, it has great sentimental value considering I was using York equipment as early as the mid to late 70's.
    York equipment was pretty much all we used back then, other than a Universal Machine.

    I love us men if nothing else because we have the ability to get super excited over an old brick 😂 There’s something special in seeing such value in things that are objectivelly valueless ❤

      The brick is from the building at 51 Broad Street, where the York Gang trained in the 50's and 60's. You could walk in off the street, go up the stairs to the second floor, and work out with the nation's top lifters.
