York Barbell Deep Dish Vintage Weight Plates

The “modern” York deep-dish plates are among the most iconic and enduring designs in weightlifting history. As the final evolution of York’s earlier designs, they were produced for several decades with rounded edges and a hub-and-spoke design that balanced form and function. The 35 lb plates evolved from older designs, featuring slightly larger letters, with early versions having the “35” facing the hub and later versions facing outward. The smaller plates in this series followed earlier designs but were also marked with their weight.
