Bob Shank - Old Iron

I collect old York iron and accessories that I will use in my workout routine and/or display in my home gym. My goal is to create an old-style workout room that is functional yet nostalgic and filled with iron history to bring back memories from the good ole days!

I grew up about 25 minutes away from York, PA -- the home of York Barbell. I am interested in just about anything York in decent condition. And I still lift the old iron beauties in my home gym.
