Rob, almost every yard sale I go to I find nothing but junk and waste gas driving around trying to find them. But every now and then I manage to hit a good one. Today was one of those days.

Just crossed a toughie off my list. While I collect a wide range uniforms to augment my reference library, I do have favorite areas. As a Crosley Field era Reds fan, I love Reds/Redlegs home uniforms and visiting NL team uniforms from 1934-1970. Even within this, my favorite subset are the NL road uniforms from 1947-1957.

So I go to the Alameda Point show today 1/2 hour before it closes...really wasn't expecting to find anything...and I spot this barbell...$75.00...Seller said couldn't do better than $70.00 since it attracted so much attention throughout the day...never seen one with the ball ends for sale before....although plenty of dumbells...so I pulled the trigger...goes with my other strongman stuff...links below...feels like about 100LB...50LB per side...not sure on age...I don't know when they stopped using the ball ends...Would guess it's from around 1890 to 1920...

Very cool, Carlton!

Gotta be an early one... Love the classic shape.

Did you need any help unloading that thing?
