Vintage of Voit lead weight?

[Doctor Rig]

I recently ran across a weight belt with Voit lead weights.

Anybody remember seeing Voit weights and have an idea when they were sold? Looks like a narrow belt. Kind of cute… LOL!

I used those weights back in the 1960's. They belonged to my dad and I think he bought them in the late 1950's. I think I saw them in the 1956 Voit Catalog.

I had some of those and you are correct, they are narrow. I melted them down and recast them to fit a standard weight belt.

What size are they? One or two pounds?

I don't remember at this point. Probably two pounds.

Those are 1 pound and the belt is 1 inch width.


Here is page 1 and 2 of the 1958 catalog.
