Vintage York Barbell Split Sleeve Olympic Bar. It is made for serious weightlifters and can handle heavy weights with ease. The bar is in great working condition and has been well-maintained over the years. It is from the 3rd generation York Deep dish plates. It is the short bar that is pre-rack. Doesn't fit the rack of today. The bar is perfect for those who are serious about strength training and want to experience the feel of a classic Olympic bar. Whether a beginner or an experienced weightlifter, this bar is sure to provide an excellent workout. It is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a vintage barbell that is both functional and stylish. Bar is very straight. I cannot find York markings, but this is definitely a vintage York bar as I am told by experts. These bars don’t come up often due to the shorter spacing between the inner collars. When J hook distance on racks and benches grew in the 60’s so did the bars. These bars were the obsolete. A lot were probably destroyed and thrown away. Measurements:
