John, Are you sure you didn't mean Warren made them exclusive for Dennis Rogers? I don't think Dennis makes anything straight when it comes to steel.. There are also two on this thread owned by mightyjoe (He has them placed next to his gift from Dennis so logically that makes sense) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 You are right ,I found this on the web. The First Retro Heman & Beast Grippers Here's a few pics of 2 very significant grippers I purchased from Dennis Roger's Collection! My good friend and fellow arm wrestling competitor, Dennis Rogers contacted me a month ago and gave me a heads up that he was selling his vintage gripper collection and he wanted me to have first chance at his very first Retro Grippers made in March 2009 by Warren Tetting. The Retro Grippers were to be replicas of the original Iron Man grippers made in 1964 by Warren Tetting and offered for sale in Iron Man magazine of that same year. There was 2 different strength Retro grippers offered in 2009. The Heman and the Beast! ONLY 100 each of these were produced and each gripper was stamped with the number on one of the handle ends. Dennis kept the first ones made and stamped #1. These are the 2 grippers he sold me this month along with a very nice Certificate of Authenticity! I can't THANK Dennis enough for considering me first before going public with these rare, one of a kind grippers that are now very collectable and hard to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
