A manufacture of Baseball
gloves, OK MFG Co. and Sonnett Sporting
Goods was founded by William Sonnett
who began his work in the baseball
glove department at the P. Goldsmith
Sons company and became the general
superintendent, where he came up with
some ideas that changed the future of
sports equipment. In 1933, Sonnett
started the Ohio-Kentucky MFG Co. The
WWII years the company produced
sporting goods for servicemen as well
as "barbed wire gauntlets" so that
troops could maneuver into enemy
territory. Post war 1940's the name
Sonnett started to take precedence, and
the brand name shifts from O.K. MFG Co.
to Sonnett. 1954, Wilson Sporting Goods
purchased the company but the name
Sonnett is still labeled on the gloves.
This "OK Ohio- Kentucky, Manufacturing Co., Ada Ohio, white printing on a
blue background, front and back
matchbook cover is very similar to the
inside of the blue/grey Sonnett
Sporting Goods cover. It lists the
Complete Line of leather sporting goods
that the company made; Footballs,
Basketballs, Volleyballs Soccerballs,
Baseball & Softballs Gloves & Mitts,
Boxing Gloves, and Striking Bags. The
front and back of the gold printing on
black Sonnett Sporting Goods "Craft
Built" matchbook cover has the same
company information.
