Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction October 2016

A tasty treat here and just the second (and nicest!) complete set of Sprite bottle caps featuring the head shots of NHL players that we have handled , this tantalizing 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 cool collectibles, with small spots of oxidation spotted on the edge of intermittent caps but not affecting any images. Overall, these are mighty attractive and inviting 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, Bucyk, Ullman and Gilbert highlight the fabulous star-studded lineup. No painful piecing together of a set after clicking and scoring this instant primo collection – cheers to winning bidder!
