#706: "....found a couple old bottles too "Dinningfords made in england magnesia".... "

I seem to remember Dinneford's magnesia being around during my childhood. Probably not in a bottle of that shape though.

no the duck on the badge doesn't relate to donald duck or Scrooge McDuck but was a creation of Alfred Ernest Walter George Aris, who had been creating anthropomorphic woodland creatures for his stories for decades and in the 1930s got involved with Cadburys and designed a range of animal characters that would be manufactured by the toy firm of Britains and distributed free with a new line of Cadburys Cocoa advertised as 'The Children's Cocoa'.

Hi Tony, Sorry I missed your call the other night. Wasn't out hunting........but was out for a run. Trying to keep the balance right!
Very interesting article about the Cocoa Club. I seem to remember you having found one or two of these badges before. Do any of them have "N.Z." on them? Would be great if you had a unique New Zealand Cocoa Club badge, like the South African version!
