JOOI, this is a pre war Bayko base, from when the product was true
Bakelite, and called Bayko Light Engineering. Bayko Light. Geddit?

But not the origin of the name. It was developed by the
Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in New York in 1907 and
he formed the General Bakelite Company in 1910.

It sounds, from your description, as if someone found a way of
'stealing' a Registered Trade Mark.

I don't think Bayko was stealing the name. Bayko Light was merely a
play on words, emphasising the Bakelite used in the product, much like
Hornby Dublo was a play on Hornby Double O, emphasising the then new 00
gauge.
