hi, i am looking for a pile of old rust kettlebells, i cant afford to buy new ones, and i like to restore old things to their old glory, and what better thing to restore than an old-school kettlebell. anybody know were i could possible find something like that.
 
I'm not sure where you are located, so I am speaking from a U.S. perspective. I would suggest contacting a few local used sports equipment stores. One example would be "Play it Again"; https://www.playitagainsports.com/products/8064/kettlebells

Or, scrounge local facebook or craigslist type places. Infrequently you can find a decent deal on well known brands of good equipment, oftentimes for pennies on the dollar.
 
You could go to Mississippi and visit @WxHerk , see if he would part with any of his. ;)
Ahhh, but an old kettlebell’s rust tells a story. My bells look like uhhhhhh…..heck because their rust is “sweat rust.” Training outdoors in the Mississippi heat & humidity has taken its toll on my bells’ appearance. So, @ronald , if you do find a rusty old bell or three, please just restore the handle if it needs it. For as Rod Stewart so awesomely sang, “Every Picture Tells a Story!!”

Never heard of it, but I do remember Hot Legs.

Facebook Marketplace, local buy-and-sell groups in your area on Facebook, craiglist.org.

i'm located in Canada, Manitoba. but ill check out the places you recommended. thanks very much
 
If you live in the midwest and want to come get one, I have a couple decorating my backyard. They aren't good KBs so you won't exactly be restoring anything to "old glory".
haha, ya i want some that look old school, but i still want to train with them. i like that old school rusty look.

yes, thats what i want, something i want to use, a lot, i like to train out side, thats why i want to old ones, no rubber coating, old school. i like the look of an old barn or garage style gym, with a corner full of old school kettlebells that have been through some s***.

Step One: acquire kettlebells

Step Two: use the heck out of the kettlebells

Step Three: after a few years, step back and admire their "rustic, rusty" appearance!!

My first two kettlebells were a pair of 24KG’s I ordered from Agatsu about 17 years ago. I gave one to a friend opening a CrossFit gym. The other I still have and use every week for something. I think they are in Quebec though, so that’s probably a bit far for you. But a decent enough brand. You should keep an eye out for them as I could see them being around up there.
