Soto from Mexico

Has anyone heard of the Mexican brand glove, Soto? I have a really well made and crafted adult first baseman's mitt, no model #, but stamped, "Professional."

Right as Rain! This is the company. Soto is evidently located in Mexico. And the Cajun Sports in Louisana is a distributor.
Rolin (sp?) was the long-time, big-name baseball glove maker in Mexico and there have been a few more. The Mexicans are excellent craftsmen, not sure of the quality of their hides, but generally seems to be ok. I'll try to get a picture of my mitt for us.
Also there used to be a distributor of Mexican made gloves I think in Electra, Texas years ago.
