Island Bottling-Nanaimo BC

I finally landed this version!... Island bottling took over Rumming's Limited in 1953....but the new company continued to use the same graphic.
This is another company I've not put much research into.

Thanks!... so I know its hard to tell on the bottle, this is actually a 'Bastion' built by the Hudon's Bay Company in 1853-1855 to defend it's coal operations.
It is the only known remaining freestanding tower structure built by the Hudson’s Bay Company.

Nice find, didn't know that these existed! I've got the Rummings in this style of bottle and the ribbed Island bottle but always thought the ribbed one was the only 7oz bottle that they had.
