Seeing the close ups of this glove and the uniform, straight stitching reminds me that my Grandfather, William A Sonnett, was always a fanatic about straight and even stitching. When Japanese gloves started to invade the American market in the 1960's, my father, William J. Sonnett, said to me one day that the quality of the Japanese gloves was really quite good with one glaring exception. The stitching was not straight on the seams.
I just happened on this site and was fascinated by the interest in collecting Sonnett baseball gloves. My grandfather William A. Sonnett and my father William J. Sonnett are the gentlemen who founded and ran the company.
