A few days ago my SIL and I went to an estate sale and came away with five of these bowls...two golds, two greens and an orange. One of the green ones had a chipped lid, but the rest were in fine condition. I'm trying my hand at another chip repair, but this one will be more challenging, because I'll have to match paint this time, instead of using black. Here are three of the bowls we brought home:

In the store: McCoy for your pampered pet
From 1966-1968 McCoy manufactured Unipet bowls for the veterinary pharmaceutical division of the Upjohn Company. Upjohn used them to package pet vitamin supplements. After the vitamins were finished, the bowl could hold pet treats. The lid even had a small clapper so it could be used as a bell to call pets to come get the goodies. As far as I can tell, the bowls came in gold, green and orange.
