Pair of wooden and cast iron dumbbells, 1kg each.

This pair of cast iron and wood dumbbells, beautifully aged over time, must date from the first half of the 20th century, certainly before 1968 since they bear the mention "patented SGDG, " a mention that has not been used since that year. They seem to be identical, but the cast iron weights have different markings: lfa1, lfa6, lfa10, and lfa15, as well as the mention "1 kg" on each weight. When weighed, and assuming my scale is functioning perfectly, each one weighs just a bit less than the announced kilogram: my scale shows 950 g. They are in generally good condition, with solid wood and well-secured weights, but they obviously show the patina of their sixty years (or more): the cast iron's original black lacquer is largely faded with some signs of superficial corrosion, and the red-stained wooden parts have stains and marks. Each dumbbell measures 16 cm in length, and the weights measure 6.3 cm in diameter.
