Looks like a cola kist bottle. Can’t remember how to spell it but remember the taste

I remember going just before Christmas every year and Mum and Dad would get the fizzy drink for us.
It was always very exciting as that was the only time we had fizzy drink.

We sold these at my father’s shop in Greymouth in the 1940s. I remember the ones with the marble in it which were called bottle allies or alleys.
