Gorgeous, extremely accurate vintage plates, made in Germany in the 1960s. Sought after as collectibles. Berg-Hantel made some of the very first "modern" weight plates, spanning back to pre-WW2 era. Prior to that, most weight lifting was done with hollow globes attached to barbells, such as the Milo and Strongfort examples. These globes were sometimes filled with shot to increase the weight, or had removable plates that fit inside the globes. Then Berg-Hantel created flat plates that slid on and off a barbell sleeve, in the same manner we continue to use to this day. Early examples of those plates can be seen as far back as the 1920s. This later iteration fits modern barbell sleeves perfectly and really brings a cosmopolitan feel to the session. They run between $1000-1200 for a pair of 20kg, a moderate sum to hold some lifting history in the palm of your hand.
