Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/21/2017
An inviting and tasty treat here and just the third complete set of Sprite bottle caps featuring the head shots of NHL players that we have handled, this desirable ensemble was never put on soft drink bottles. The un-crimped examples are complete with their cork liners and are the English “Taste Sprite” versions, much scarcer than their popular Coca-Cola counterparts from the same 1964-65 season. A few “specs” and small scratches are detected here and there while admiring the nifty collectibles, with small spots of oxidation and/or rust spotted on intermittent caps. Overall, these are attractive and free of any dents/bends that would occur when opening pop bottles back in the day. Legends Howe, Hull, Beliveau, Plante, Sawchuk, Hall, Mikita, Mahovlich, Horton, Bower, Richard, Cournoyer, Esposito and Keon highlight the terrific star-studded lineup. Cheers!
