Regal?? Trade Mark Registered. HK??

[Newtoit]

This is another one I need some help with. The front of the bottle says Regal. The back says Registered Trade Mark. On the bottom it has a conjoined HK logo. On the front at the heel is a number 1 which I'm assuming is a mold number. The top has kink of a weird seam. Pictures of the rest of the bottle to follow. Unfortunately the pic og the top is a little blurry.

Could be a beer bottle. ''Regal'' spelled backwards is ''Lager'', a type of beer.
Just a thought.

There is a "Regal Mineral Water Co." in Victoria B.C. it could be from there, I think their later bottles have a simaler font.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the place in B.C.

Henry Kuntz, of Hamilton, Ontario, brewed under the "Regal Lager" and "HK" trademarks, during the early 1900s. When his brewery amalgamated with other local breweries to form the Hamilton Brewing Association, as a means of survival in the face stiff competition from larger breweries in Toronto, Guelph and London, the "Regal Lager" and "HK" trademarks were carried on by the Association. The Hamilton Brewing Association also registered the "Spell it backwards" tagline in connection with its Regal Lager brand.

Good to know mctaggart, I have been looking for some of the earlier Kuntz bottles for a while... I'll bet your right about this one.

Thanks mctaggart67. At the same location I found a bottle from L. Kuntz Park Brewery, Waterloo Ontario. I have pics of this bottle up here https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/February-Finds/m-491846/tm.htm . The company was forced to sell out for stock and the new owner paying $200,00.00 in excise taxes. It seems they were bootlegging during prohibition. I included a link to the brewery's history page with the bottle. The company used to brew for O'Keefe's as well and I found an O'Keefe's Pilsner emossed bottle in the same spot.
Thanks for the info.
