I had a Warsop Perfection. It was quality, but I had no idea how to look after it and ended up ruining it by over oiling.

The first bat I shelled out my hard earned cash for was an Adidas Incurza Pro. It had so little ping the ball would virtually stop dead off the middle. Worse still I followed that up with a Woodworm Globe. Like the nazi guy in Indianna Jones and the Last Crusade I "chose poorly"......

Slazenger Geoff boycott ..... Still have it and the white painted face is still going strong and the stump marks in the back from hammering in the stumps look as good as ever

My brothers first bat was a size 4 county colt

I think my first bat was a malvern star  :o hand me down from my brother,

soon followed up by a Dean Jones kookaburra and then a size 6 Stuart Surridge from K-mart, might have been a Mark Taylor model

It would have been a Duncan Fearnley Colt, aged 12 or 13 in 87 or 88.  Always borrowed bats before then, but this was the first I owned.

The first I bought myself was a Gray Nicolls Twin Scoop a few years later, with the white fibre face - still got it in the loft I think

First one was a Green Stickered GN in about 06 (can't remember what the name of it was, any ideas?) never had a Kid's bat, was too damn big for one!

That was my initial thought, but I don't remember it having those hideous graphics on the back. I'll dig it out of my Dad's shed.

Got that bat from Brentwood Sports, those were the days....
