Re: Regent Cola Cone Top
Dave Tanner's book lists a Regent Cola quart, and a generic Regent Beverages cone, but not a 12 oz. Regent Cola cone as far as I can see. They are all rated an R-2, "very rarely seen in any condition." I'd say your quarter was very well spent!

Re: Regent Cola Cone Top
Hi Eric,
Could you post pics showing front and back the cola? Because the quart exists, it was logical to assume the 12 oz did as well. This would be the first example identified.
Great find, even in pretty rough condition!

Re: Regent Cola Cone Top
INTERESTING CAN,MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT HOW MANY EARLY SODA CONES THAT WERE ACTUALLY CANNED AND STILL NOT IN COLLECTORS HANDS.SHORT RUNS COULD HAVE BEEN INEXPENSIVE IN THE EARLY 50,S FOR CANNERS WITH EXTRA SHEETS.NICE FIND.

Re: Regent Cola Cone Top
Here are some more pics. With and without flash. Can is solid just washed out. Since I collect only Pacific Northwest beer cans I am taking offers on it as well.

Re: Regent Cola Cone Top
Thanks - too bad the word cola wasn't more visible! I wonder if there is another one out there?
