I have an old cricket bat that has been in our family for probably 60 or 70 years minimum. It came from a relative who came here to the United States somewhere around the 1920's or 30's possibly. I don't know if they brought the bat with them or not. As I get older and begin to pass things on to my son I like to give him the story behind things.

There is a logo stamped on the bat that is in a circular pattern.
Starting at 9:00 to 12:00 is "E J. RILE" (THIS PART IS HARD TO READ)
12:00 to 3:00 is "LIMITED" (VERY CLEAR)
9:00 TO 3:00 is "ACCRINGTON" (GOING ANTI-CLOCKWISE)
(VERY CLEAR)
In the middle of the circle is "MAKERS" (VERY CLEAR)

A few inches above the circle is stamped "PERFECTION"

If anyone out there can give me any information on the company that made the bat, the age, or anything related to it, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for any information you might have.
