Thor Barbell Vintage Weight Plates
Produced by Thor Barbell in collaboration with York Canada, using York’s milled patterns. These plates were discontinued due to disagreements over the pattern use. The design closely matches the York milled plates, with the primary difference being the Thor branding.

These are good plates that hold a pretty decent value. You dont see them a ton. A cool York collaboration that didnt last long. Not the cleanest casting, but still cool and accurate.

Great plates. I only have a pair of 35s and 10s but I love them. The whole York Canada back story adds to the fun. But mainly I like the look with the tall letters. And the wide hub is a fun pinch variation.

I just *enjoy* these plates. Look at the text on them, the THOR fades down to the right, like the typesetter just got sloppy (apparently the whole set is similarly sloppy). There is a whole story with these plates being an unapproved re-cast of the standard York milled plates by York CA, and that they got shut down when York USA noticed.
They're 45s. Mine have some casting faults but are close enough to 45 that I don't care. I like them mainly because they're weird, and the THOR looks cool.

I’m not even a huge Marvel fan but there’s still plenty to appreciate about these Thor plates. Clean capital letters, wider hub and four spoke design.

My first "in the wild" vintage find. Decent quality and the cool name.
