Didn't Crown only finish when the fella died? I'm sure he did make for Raje though.
Not sure that was my only dealings with Raje. I know Alf of ACE helped out there for a short while in the early days also.
It was the first time I thought that I would choose a cleft and get a custom bat and that Crown was nearby, ACE had stopped trading by then. Their old website was still up. I rang and got told by the owner he had sold the business and was directed to Raje.
The owner and the main batmaker two different people? The name Easton rings a bell.
Last I heard Raje have packed in their bat manufacturing as his kids didn't have an interest.
