Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2025
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/29/2025
A very infrequent occurrence is the opportunity to secure a complete set of 108 Sprite hockey bottle caps, the desirable collectibles featuring the head shots of the players who helped write the last chapters of the Original Six era. This delectable ensemble was, remarkably, never put on soft drink bottles. The un-crimped examples are complete with their cork liners and are the English “Taste Sprite” versions, much, much scarcer than their popular Coca-Cola counterparts from the same 1964-65 season. With regret we must also note that the majority of the caps have surface issues with oxidation/spotting to various degrees, but still extremely collectable as a rarely seen complete set. The better players in the collection include Beliveau, Sawchuk, Ullman, Cournoyer, Hull, Horton, Howell, Gilbert, Mikita, Keon, Plante, Bower, Hall, Richard, Howe, F. Mahovlich, Pronovost and P. Esposito. To piece together a complete set cap by cap would be a daunting task.
