JOCKO CAN?

[Leon]

Anybody ever see this Jocko Choclate before? Didn't see it in Daves book. I assume it's from Canada. Anybody know if rare or common? LEON.

[Soda Can Fan]

I've not seen these before. Why do you assume that they are from Canada?

[Leon]

Because the guy that found them lives in Toronto & it's a 10ouncer like most canadian cans & the one in book is a Canadian 10 ouncer. All adds up to a good assumption I assume Dave T. You out there? ever see one of these? LEON.

[chateaudebris]

[Leon]

I'll be finding out more about it tomorrow when I trade him a Pabst Root beer for one. Wish me luck LEON.

I tried to get the better one from him on left but no dice, got the peice of crap on right Cleaning it now.

[Leon]

Here's the Jocko before & after Pics. Yeah, I know, probably not real interesting to most. Looks like a 7 3/4 ouncer instead of the 10 I though. Why not just make it a even 8, why 7 & 3/4? Looks like made in Stratford Ontario but hard to read. LEON.

Hi There,
These are in fact a Canadian product, from the 70's, no longer in production. You might find a nostalgic buff, put em on Ebay. Very rare find indeed.....

My Dad was a salesman and brought a case of this home for us kids to try. I believe that was in 1970. It never really took off. I can still remember the taste, like chocolate milk with an aftertaste.

[diamondcans]

Leon, what did you use to clean that with?

[dtsoc]

I have seen the 7 3/4 ounce version - there is also another generation. Can someone post pics of the 10oz example? I would have thought these were older than 1970.
Thx,
DT

[Leon]

I would guess older then 70's also. Here's a Pic of the back. LEON.

P.S. Click pic to supersize. Sorry for big hole & watermark.

[Canadacan]

Nice water mark leon! , Hemi-Hampton a real refreshment ... lol, Hey too bad it's missing the ....... food co. How was the back of the other can?

[richfeit7]

It is in Dave's book, it is Canadian, it's the 2nd to last can on page 222. Can you make out the manufacturer and city thru the rust? Thanks, Rich

[Leon]

I don't remember how the back of other can was but I do remember that it was better then this one. I can not make out Manufacturer name. If I had pics or access to the other can I probably could. LEON.

[Leon]

Leon, what did you use to clean that with?

Oxalic Acid.

I was over at my local dump across the road from my cabin last month and did a bit of digging in the seventies section for a change. I found these right on top, no digging required. This dump was last used around the mid seventies.

I put a regular 10oz soda can behind to show that these are shorter than the normal.... I'd say the same size as a Carnation Milk can....

I can make out mandatory on the backs and by using bits of both cans to distinguish the text "Made In Canada by Canada Dairies Corporation Ltd., Burgessville Ontario"

[Leon]

For some reason I think my Jocko may not be related to this Clown Jocko? I'm under the impesssion 2 different Jocko's &/or Company. LEON.

[kamsquared]

Too bad you didn't find a Pogo the Clown can.......that would be KILLER!!!

Back on topic, I believe that these Jocko cans may be related to each other, The two towns listed are about 30KM (20 miles) apart....right in the middle of the dairy capital area of Ontario. I was visiting with my elder sister in law over Thanksgiving who lives and grew up in the area. She says the brand was quite popular locally during the late 50's through to the early 70's.... of course she doesn't recall the earlier packaging but she does remember the dairy (later a feed mill) in Burgessville during the late 60's early 70's.... Guess we'll just have to find a early version with the company visible so we can do more research....
