Picked up this old cardboard poster tonight at auction. From what I can find online it appears this sweepstakes was 1962. The poster is a little rough, I guess its to be expected with it being made of paper product, one bad stain in the middle. I think it will frame really well though, and the price was right! Any info any of you Coke experts have on this item is appreciated.

SO DID YA WIN jamiedpt? lol:), what a very fun poster:) love it:)
I like the bottle caps seen in the poster, does anyone know if they actually produced these bottles caps? or were they just seen on these posters?
Yes, these were produced. Coca-Cola gave out folders that opened up and you collected the caps of different countries and taped them inside this folder. I have a few complete sets plus gave CCKid this set:

Right on! very cool, this sign would go great with a complete collection. How common are these caps? I have never seen them before, do they pop up on ebay often?
