Hehe. I've got every size ever made in 1" plates, from 1.25 all the way up to 100, including the rarer 7.5, 12.5, 15, 35, 40 and 75. They're not all York of course. I've got quite a variety including Reading, Cap, Weider, Ross and other brands. It took me years to find them all but I enjoyed the process. I bought the 100s from Iron Man mag back in the 70s. They don't have any markings on them.
That’s very cool. I like a variety of plates. I think it’s fun to switch them out from week to week. Thanks so much for commenting!
@@vintageweightspgh Maybe you can help me in IDing some of my odder plates. Two of my 75s are York but the other two are smaller in diameter and thicker. They have no markings on them. They look like they were just cut from a cylinder and a hole drilled in the center. I've never seen plates like them.
My 4x40lb plates also have no brand name on them. They say 40 on either side of the center hole and barbell below the center. They have that 1" or so wide, shallow groove near the rims that some plates have. Ever encounter any like that?
While building my home gym I get unusual brands and recently found 2 pair 10lb standard plates which about an inch of the outside of the plate has a waffle or diamond pattern, anyone have any knowledge on these weights?
Thanks in advance
@@burtgayleard4983 Sounds like the plates in the first barbell set I ever bought back in the early 70s. Got them from Joe Weider.
Thank you. I am cleaning up some to get rid of and after removing the rust these are so cool like they are that I was searching for a reason to not spray them and keep em. Lol
I've really enjoyed collecting and using these plates over the last year. Just picked up some hundos that I'm excited to bring back to life and put back to work. Enjoyed the video, keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It always helps the algorithm. That’s cool that you found some hundreds! There are a couple pairs about an hour from me that I’m thinking about adding to the gym.
I have some of these. Past up the 100lbs, only because I didn't have the money at the time. Last buy was some 1 1/4 a few weeks ago. Been making a big difference in training
That’s great! I agree on standards. They’re a great way to build a home gym or to add some weights to your home gym. They’re usually fairly cheap. Thanks so much for commenting!
I have an original York standard set purchased in 1980. I also have the bench they made, adjustable with preacher curl attachment.
Would love to buy some 50’s since I have a bunch of 25’s.
50s are floating around on the used market for sure. That’s a great setup. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! It really helps!
If this is the one idk maybe the 50s and when they were made was lost in editing thanks again.
About to buy York Barbell 35 lb 1 inch plates(2) this month,2 in July,4 10 lb plates, 20 lb plates(4) in August. Attempting 90 lb(per arm. 180 lbs total...) dumbbell close grip bench press,Arnold press,hammer curl,wide grip dumbbell row for upper back,romanian & stiff leg deadlift for legs...2 sets for each exercise (crazy heavy!! Barbell FIRST for blood flow,strength,mass...AS WARM UP.)
Nice! Thanks for watching!
I got 50lbs for sale I’m in California
Don't have any yorks since they are kinda rare here on the west coast, but I enjoy my older pig iron. Plate math is easier, cheaper to get, and space efficient. My current favorites are my chrome weider standard plates, healthways 1.25lb plates, and billard 35's(non-dimple). Interesting how some have upwards of 30mm holes too.
Thanks for commenting. It really helps. I agree on center hole diameter. My Billards are all larger hole. I got a Billard standard bar last year. My wife found it for free! But they fit perfectly.
I have a pair of 50lb plates of York and I’m in California in antelope valley. If you want to buy them let me know anyone!!! They’re standard 1in
Another great video. Love this channel. Don’t know if you know. But I would like to know time line for each. And maybe contrast the close letter Yorks with the not so vintage fat letter Yorks from the 90’s onward. Keep ‘em coming. I’m a fan
Thanks for the comment. It helps the YT algorithm and all that stuff haha. As for timeline, that’s a great question. In my best opinion, the closer letter were 1980s and onward. I’ve seen USA stamped close letter heavies from 1990s. I know from Strength and Health magazines that the wide letter were around in the 1960s. What I’m curious about and don’t know is the timeline for single sided and A plates. It’d be easy to figure out A plates. I can check my Strength and Health to see the first advertisement with lettering. The single sided might be tougher to nail down.
I still have my York standard set i purchased directly from York back in 1979.
Cool Info as usual !! 👍
Question ! I have ( 2 ) Dan Lurie Brooklyn NY . Standard hole plates
50lb each. The size is the odd part. 12in diameter 2ins thick .
Any info you might have would be helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the comment! Those are commonly called “circus letter” Dan Luries. Other than the Dan Lurie standards with the street address, the circus letter are usually the only other DL standards that are sought after. The big lettering just looks cool even though made overseas. I just got a pair of the 50s myself and they’re so chunky! Haha.
@@vintageweightspgh Very interesting !!!
I agree the lettering is really cool.
And yes very Chunky lol
What kind of value would you put on them? I don't collect them.And would like to see them go to a good home. Thanks again for appreciating the sport!!
Awesome plates..
Thank you 😋
Awesome video! I know it's a bit off-topic to the current content of this video, but you really know your stuff when it comes to gym gear. So, I'm fixing up this antique weight bench, and I'm stuck trying to figure out the best foam to use. Any advice on what kind of foam I should be looking for? Your help would mean a lot. Thanks!
It’s tough to say without seeing the bench. I’d probably take whatever is left of the original foam to a local craft store like Michael’s and try to find the most similar density and thickness.
I usually count five gens of “Vintage” York plates, although there are sub gens.
“A” plates, no cast letters or number. Weight amount stamped into plate.
Y O R K BAR BELL single sided
Y O R K BAR BELL double sided A.K.A. Wide letters
YORK BAR BELL double sided
YORK BARBELL double sided
The York Bar Bell and Barbell difference is interesting. I’d thought maybe they came from different foundries or molds by that point, not that one came before the other. I’m not implying you’re incorrect; just what I’d thought. You may be right. Thanks so much for commenting. I’ll look into it! Great stuff.
I use my 20s and my 12.5s on my pulley system all the time. My 20s are both a lb overweight on the scale. Have you ever see the one-sides Weider 20s?
I’ve never seen one sided Weider 20s. I have 10s and I traded some 7.5s.
I will take a pic and post it on IG
I want 12.5s bad, any idea what years were green paint vs black. Most of my collection is green with a few older black plates.
To the best of my knowledge, York only produced black and then for a short time blue.
I'm in Canada, most of the old yorks are painted a john deer green. Maybe it was for the Canadian market.
What about the ones that say York, but look like Milo?
Those are York economy line standard plate and newer.
Upon looking that up, it doesn’t look like what I have… I’d love to show you a pic
Are the 12.5s rare? I have one, thought I was getting a pair with a bunch of other plates but he only had 1
In my experience, it was a bit tougher to find the 12.5s. I’m general, the double sided narrow lettered York standards are about a dollar a pound or less most the time regardless. But yes, the 12.5s were a little rarer.
Hey man.was just wondering why do some york legacys have a little R with a circle around it and some dont?
It’s the trademark symbol. I’d assume they started out without it and then started putting it on.
@@vintageweightspgh oh ok thx.i seen at some point they made them over here in canada.i wonder when that was or if they still do
How about pro style plates???🤔
There are several. I came across a couple different York pancake plates a while back from a functional trainer.
How much would you say the 100 lbs are worth?
$1 at most. But depends where you’re located.
12.5s 😐
1.25s 😐
20s 🤯🤯🤯
😂
