re: Billy Cannon Johnny Robinson weights?

Cleaned up some of my dad's old plates and realized there's nothing on google about Robinson-Cannon Barbell. I figured out which Robinson and Cannon thanks to the player images and numbers, and I learned in another post here that these guys had some business dealings together in the early 60s. Apparently Cannon was one of the first high-profile athletes to promote weight lifting.

Cannon and Robinson maximized their marketability, locally. I’ve seen these before as they had a gym/training location and these were sold with their name/likeness. They also advertised for Lee Jeans, Cannon had pro model children’s football equipment, etc. Shoot me an email if you’d like to part with them.
