REGENT
  The first generation of a can by Regent Square Bottling Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was a 12 ounce cone top can with "flavor on the crown cap". The response must have been impressive enough to warrant another production run in both 12 and 32 ounce cone top cans about 1952.

  A long time gap exists between the last cone top run. In 1971, a Regent tab top can was filled. No more cans have been cataloged since the release in 1973. Six painted label bottle generations have been noted from 1958 to 1968.
