1964-65 Coke/Sprite bottle cap set

[Stampsfan]

You're likely aware, but the Sprite caps have always carried a premium. Theory behind it is more Coke was sold than Sprite back in the day, hence more Coke caps than Sprite caps.

Yes I did know that. I am not sure if I should complete it in all coke. Or maybe do both sets. Thanks.

Yeah, do both!

(And yes, I can be a bad influence at times)

I have very few hockey ones, so I'm not sure if they did them on other coke brands like Tab or the Fanta flavors.

And if you're really crazy, do multiple bottling plants.

The one thing I am pretty sure about is that they only did the two flavours.So I would only be into the two sets.
I am not sure when Coke took ownership of those other smaller companies. But it may have been after 1964-65
when these caps were released.

That's an impressive collection.

I looked up Tab and Fanta. Tab was introduced by coke in 1963 in the US. So it may have been just a bit too late for a 1964 set, especially if it was in Canada.

Fanta was also a Coke brand, formed in Germany during WWII, discontinued post war, but brought back internationally in 55. In the US, it wasn't sold until sometime in the 60's, and I didn't see an exact date.It was around for the mid 60's Again, not sure about how closely Canadian brands tracked US brands.
But it does look like they only did Sprite And Coke.

Because I am not familiar with the other two products. Even though I remember as a much younger person we had Tab and Fanta here in Canada. But I do not believe I have ever seen those two products with hockey players on them. So did these other two products release hockey players on their caps as well.Thanks.
