Antique Vintage Wood Dumbell

No ID Marks - Slight wear beautiful patina. This cute little guy is only a 1/2 LB! 2 1/2" x 8" c. 1880 - 1890

Great little paper weight to put on your desk to remind you to go to gym!

Earliest examples had no manufacturer marks and often no weight marks.

There were many manufacturers in America that started producing them with variations in weight, size and style for Men, Women and Children.

I list size and weight of each listing and make note of general condition and markings, etc. as I notice them.

All of my dumbells are original as found by me with only a light cleaning and a light coat of wax added for their protection.

I hope you enjoy shopping with me for this iconic part of American sports history orders and please be sure to check out the wonderful wooden Indian clubs from the same era.
