older Kayo Chocolate embossed bottle

[RCO]

you'll see in my new posts that I happened to get down to the Kitchener area this weekend and picked up some bottles .

the first one I was going to post was for " Kayo Chocolate " a 6 1/2 oz bottle , with markings on bottom for " ****z Brewery Waterloo "

its fairly heavy and seems to be an older bottle maybe 30's or 40's era , not sure how late they operated

the pictures make it look nicer , actually a lot of wear and such to the bottle

Same generic design as my Kokor's from New Westminster BC...my research sugested the company was short lived from about 1932-1937.
That bottle design may have been used into the 1940's but I don't know for sure...I wonder why they chose a generic bottle? Kayo was well advertised and lasted right into the 70's from what I can tell.

I believe they chose that generic bottle because in the U.S. Kayo was coincidentally bottled in a bottle with an unrelated but similar design, with those two rings. They probably decided that this one was close enough and a lot cheaper.

I cant make out the glass mark on this bottle but maybe its a mark for Kayo?..... My Kokor's is made by Consumers glass.

not that familiar with Kayo , was it like chocolate milk or a similar chocolate flavoured beverage , it doesn't appear to be pop . I can't see it containing actual milk or how would they have ever kept it fresh on the store shelves for long ?

What is on the bottom of your bottle?

It was a Chocolate flavored Drink... not a soda pop, it was made with skim milk and it could be served hot or cold.
