How perfect. Two of my very favorites: YooHoo and Mickey Mantle.

Nice find, and thanks for sharing

Superb Mantle cap!

The only thing I may differ on? The screw off caps are a 60s production I believe.

I've never seen one before - very nice pickup.

Did you pick it up on ebay?

I love Yoo Hoo. What year are the caps from?

Thanks. I have only seen a small picture of it here: PDF File page of Mantle stuff and quick research showed one sold in a 2004 auction with other Yoo Hoo Mantle items for $4000. I picked it up on Ebay. First time I saw it on there. I have seen a few other players screw top on Ebay, one is on now. Maybe my new favorite item!

I love old food issues and odd-ball stuff like this. I had a wooden rain out coin for the Yankees with Mantle on it. It was from the mid sixties and you would think there were thousands of those around. I can't find them anywhere now. I matted it and framed it with an autographed comic book and a commerative ticket. Wish I still had that. I think I have a pict of it on my old (abandoned)website . Great find, thanks for sharing it with us and DON"T sel it it! (unless to me)

Nice items, I have seen them before.

The yellow crown cork top is from 1959 and is considered scarce.

The white is from 1960. They had other players too like Skowron, Ford and Berra IIRC.

The twist off I've never seen.


I used to collect cork crowns, mainly Pepsi, Coke and other soda brands as a kid back in the 60's.

My father and mother thought I was nuts, another collection thrown out........
