    Those York plates with the thick hub at 10:15-10:30 were the only olympic weights in the weight room at the base gym in St Hubert Quebec, when I was working out there in 1979-1980. I knew they were old, but to find out they were from the 1930s is amazing. they had about 8 of the 45s and about 4 of the 35 and 25s each from the same set/timeframe.
