Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2025

Much scarcer than their popular Coca-Cola counterparts from the same 1964-65 season are Sprite caps featuring head shots of members of the "Original Six" teams including all the stars of the day. This near-complete set (107/108) missing just MacDonald (Red Wings) for completion (there is also an extra cap of Jeffrey Red Wings) features the English "Taste Sprite" variety and remarkably, none were ever put on soft drink bottles. The un-crimped examples exhibit a few “specs” and small scratches here and there, with small spots of oxidation also observed on intermittent caps. Howe, Martin and Barkley (Red Wings), Brown and Ingarfield (Rangers), Green (Bruins) and Harper and Balon (Canadiens) all have minor edge chipping. Overall though, these are mighty inviting as they are free of any dents/bends that would occur when opening pop bottles back in the day.
