You guessed it, two more Sonnetts

Here are two new additions to the Sonnett collection. First is a Charlie Keller model B4F. This is an early 1950's model and the first I've seen Keller endorsing - although we've seen him on numerous different gloves. Leather is great, stampings have silver. Thanks for not bidding on this one guys - it was a steal for 10 bucks!

Second up is the famous Lighnting model with bat web that my dad was kind enough to purchase for me. This one lacks a tag but never had one - all the other Lightnings I've seen have been made with a tag. This glove rivals the A2000 that parent company Wilson was making at the time. Definitely top of the line.
