KO-KANE BOTTLE

[Sam_MaineBottles]

Hi All -

I purchased a bottle collection recently that has been in storage for 30+ years. I found this little guy tucked in with several larger bottles. It is a 3.25 inch clear BIM bottle with a tooled lip and a recessed front panel that is embossed KO-KANE with Trade Mark underneath. No other embossing. I googled Ko-Kane and found just one bottle reference - a 2001 inquiry to Digger Odell asking about a similar bottle (Digger wrote that he had no info on it but that it sounded like a good item). Anyone know something about this one?

Thanks - Sam

That's an odd one.
The obvious idea is its a play on the name cocaine. You might also consider it could be an indian name. Indian names often hyphenated and it sounds like an Indian name, would be pronounced ko kan a. May be totally wrong but its another route to investigate.
