As mentioned above, they marketed butterfly willow bats as their top of the range.

No bat maker sold their butterfly stained bats as their top range! There will be few butterfly bats but not solely butterfly bats in their top range
White willow dominates to ranges.
Cricket Bat Company had their butterfly range but their more expensive top range consisted of beautiful white willow.

Classic Bat Company did sell butterfly as their flagship model. As stated above, I believe their bats were made by Warsop Stebbing.

Have you? Did they even have catalogues? They were a small company that ceased to exist about twenty years ago.

I think a young Trescothick is pictured with one in the inside cover of his autobiography.

Both the butterfly and Warsop information is knowledge I will have acquired here. Obviously things said here aren't always correct; but I think I mostly know which people are trustworthy and reliable.

If you listen to that picture hard enough you'll probably be able to hear young Stuart throwing his toys out of the pram.

See you got trust issues on here!
Yes, I was in Amsterdam those days and was looking at their online catalogue! They were expensive bats! And they looked really very good!

Classic Bat Company went bust in 1997. What kind of website did they have back then?

@AJ2014 is correct. They did have a website, @Bats_Entertainment and @Tom.

How do I know this? Because the Founder and Director lists it as such on his LinkedIn profile:

• Set up a new sports brand, which had worldwide publicity for the “Double Sided” cricket bat including front page of The Times, Daily Telegraph plus most nationals and trade press. TV coverage on News at 5.45, Sky Sports; radios 1,2,4,5 and World Service.

• Exported internationally through a network of agents, competing with major brands such as Slazenger.

• Endorsed by Sir Garfield Sobers, Chris Broad and Marcus Trescothick; also used by Brian Lara, Kevin Pietersen, Gordon Greenidge and Simon Jones.

• First Cricket Equipment Company in the world on the Internet with its own web site.

• Finalist in the HTV “You’re The Boss” television competition judged by Institute of Directors.
