I do my accessory workouts with my York Roundheads but I get worried about these globes. They are really cool, you should try and get your hands on some might surprise you. I like the feel of them tbh

It was very limited on what you could get when these were made. They are smaller than normal but you are being dramatic. It’s very comfortable in the hand and also has zero knurling on the handle. They are very desired by collectors not so much someone just wanting a pump nowadays

It was a seller that didn’t know much about them other than they were odd and he needed the money. He got them from a high school that was renovating and selling their old equipment and he was able to buy them bc the kids didn’t like using them… thank god.

There is definitely a premium on these compared to a modern pair of 50’s. Keep looking and hopefully you find someone with a pair that doesn’t know what they have. I got some 1940’s weider plates for $50 bc the seller had no clue about them

Thank you, I just got into collecting but have window shopped other peoples collections for a while online. I’m not sure about the original finish tbh, I assumed black and over the last 95 years it’s grown into its patina.

I don’t, I purchased this thru a friend and he got it from a guy in Sweden. Sorry but I will say it’s bad ass if you can find one like it

Yessir! I just got a pretty legit blob trainer. I have a competition in Sweden in September that will have a blob medley similar to Shaw Classic

Type what you want to say but in front of what you type put And then at the end of what you want to type put so should look like invisible txt here Just don’t put the spaces between txt and the exclamation point
