Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/6/2018
Intriguing offering here features somewhat familiar-looking bottle caps, but without "Drink Coke" or "Buvez Coke" or "Taste Sprite" beneath the hockey players' images. Considered a proof set, the caps are without cork liners, while the silvery finish seen on caps that were actually put on bottles of Coca-Cola and Sprite during the 1964-65 season is not present either, with mostly grey and at times cream colored caps observed. Each of the Original Six teams is represented by an average of four Hall of Fame players, with the exception of the "loaded" Maple Leafs whose lineup includes eleven(!) HOFers. The tops of the caps are all nice and flat, with small or light scratches spotted on most but nothing too unsightly. Some are in un-crimped form, while others have parts of their edges slightly bent, almost as if they were once on bottles. Scratches/blemishes to the undersides are also to note but again, nothing drastic and you won't be looking there. The head shots of Howe, Beliveau, Sawchuk, Plante, Horton, Hull, Mahovlich and many others sure conjure up images of the fabulous six-team NHL.
