About this product
This vintage set of weight plates from Sears Ted Williams includes two 10 lb plates, totaling 20 lbs. Made of brown plastic, these plates date back to the 1970s and are made in the United States. They are intended for gym training and weight lifting. The set is sold as a pair and features a retro aesthetic.
Our take
I came across these vintage Ted Williams plates and thought they'd add some character to my home gym. The plastic construction is surprisingly sturdy, though it's not as durable as iron. They're 10 lbs each and fit standard barbells, but the center hole is a bit tight on some bars. The retro brown color is unique, and they're lightweight enough for storage. However, for $45 you're paying for nostalgia more than performance. I wouldn't drop them, as plastic could crack. If you're a collector or just want a conversation piece, these might appeal to you.
