Roberts speed bag platform

Looks like a vinyl bag, low budget unit, wonder what the vintage is. Never heard of Roberts.

That's from the late 1960's. Voigt offered a near identical set during that time period as well. Roberts was a minor player in the sporting goods business in the 50's & 60's. They did have an endorsement deal with Rocky Marciano in the 50's.

That is an interesting ring arrangement. I've never seen one quite like that.
Interesting history, too. A minor player equipment company signing a major pair of Fists.
