Jedd, this machine was restored for Daniel Stanakov of New Mexico by the fabulous Ernie Skelton of La Mirada. He used to work for Al crocker. bike has since moved on. Rich
Ernie Skelton borrowed the Bigsby drawings from Murray Looper and never returned them. Harry Sucher wrote in 'The Antique Motorcycle' vol 10 #3 1971 and again in 'Iron Redskin' 1977, that Skelton had "Possession" of the drawings = A public notice in the public domain, making Skelton the legal owner of Al Crocker's intellectual property.
Great score for Skelton giving him the right to manufacture without license or royalty to the Crocker family. And manufacture he did.
Everyone who knew Skelton knows very well he and his crew out numbered Al Crocker's work force.
Jack Lilly claimed in "Original Wild Ones" that he was close friends with "Alfred Crocker", who ever that was.
He also claimed he was going to buy the company remains.
He also claimed he and Von Dutch worked at the factory, Kenny Howard was born in 1929, how old does that make him in 1940 ?
Jack Lilly had no credibility.
The Booze fighter bike is absolutely one of Ernie Skelton's replica's
The owner tried to write a book but the Crocker family have shut that door on him. He is going to have to try another avenue of provenance for his 3 bikes. good luck!!
Elmo Looper had no connection to anyone named Art Smyth or Chuck Vernon or Harry Sucher.
any bike built by "Looper and Smyth" is a fake replica. Chuck built 40-61-117 and 36-61-1X.
Elmo's son had never heard of Chuck or Smyth.
Ernie Skelton did not work for Crocker mc co.
Skelton lived at Westminster and moved to La Mirada , closer to Chuck Vernon, the manufacturing process
Skelton was not part of Crocker history, he made his own luck with help from his friends
Jack lilly owned a Crocker, that is a fact supported by photos, but what was the engine number ?
The Crocker register is worthless when written by the same guys "restoring" the very items logged in the Register, it doesn't get more corrupt than that.
The Crocker family get updates of what has been happening.
Murray's family know all about Skelton
Elmo's son knows all about Skelton
There is no way of fixing the shit Skelton caused. it is going to be revealed, it doesn't matter how long it takes.
