About this product
This set includes six vintage Billard weight plates, each weighing 5 lbs, designed for use with a 1-1/8 inch barbell or dumbbell. Made in the United States, these plates are suitable for weight lifting activities. The vintage condition may show signs of wear, but they offer a classic addition to any home gym setup. The brand, BILLARD, is known for durable gym equipment. These plates are ideal for those looking to add incremental weight to their workouts with a standard 1-inch hole bar.
Our take
I picked up these vintage Billard 5 lb plates for my old 1-1/8 inch bar, and they work fine for what they are. The weight is accurate, and they fit snugly. Being made in the USA gives me some confidence in the build quality, though they have some rust and wear from age. If you need fractional plates and have a non-standard bar diameter, these are a decent option. Just don't expect them to look pretty—they're functional, not decorative. At $45 for six, it's a fair price for vintage gear.
