I think the 32mm bar may be a Hampton.

 

[ECKSRATED]

Wanna sell that 32mm? Lol probably great for squats

I really want a 33 or 34mm bar for squats

I have two 32 mm bars. I would sell one of them but I'd have to charge like $175 shippedand they are only $275 new

Those are so cool.

A few more for the few that like Iron Game History.

That's pretty awesome.
Must be very cool, and inspirational to train with gear like that, realizing it's history.

I picked a set of old york plates and a york split sleeve bar yesterday. Four of the plates are milled. I can't wait to clean them up.

If you find an old York olympic bar you'll have one made by Iron wolf. They used to make all of the bars for York before they got bought out and started making them over seas.


Alright I had to go look. Iron Wolf made all the olympic bars for York from 1983 till 2005.

I live 20 minuted from the York Plant in York, PA. They still make plates and have a museum set up with older artifacts, pretty cool.

You try Oxcilic Acid?

It is great on rust stains. It's a mild acid extracted from leafy greens. Often used in wood brightners for decks, and concrete/stone bleaches

You can get a 5lb bag of pure crystal at 99.8% purity from amazon for 15 bucks. 1 cup mixed 1 gallon water.

I do not use any kind of acid or acidic cleaner on my stuff unless it is REALLY bad. If it is really bad I will wrap towels in vinager and let them soak for a few hours. Acid tends to leave bare metal in a state where it always rusts, even indoors with an oil coating. For bars I will take what I can get off with rags and oil and leave the patina to protect the old steel. For rusty plates I will do the same then rattle can them black like my roundheads.

This makes my 4th 70's york split sleeve bar. I love these things.

I picked these up at a used sporting goods store today. Milled sexiness...

It's been a while since I made a score. This weekend I grabbed two more 1970s york bars and some old plates I can not ID.

Look's pretty damn rusty and strong!

I picked these up for pennies, figured they might be the original bumper plates as they have a 1" ring of heavy rubber around the edges. Any idea if these are anything special/story behind them?

All i I know is they are too heavy for you

Those are pretty cool plates. Older style bumpers are awesome in my opinion. I don't think there is as big an interest in them as steel plates but for .50 a lb or less you did very good.

I've been working on this 1970s york bar for a couple hours. It is bent on about 4 different axis' and it has been painstaking. It has the best knurling of all my york bars and I do not want to mess it up. I may ship it to Ivanko.
