Blanca Nieves Coca-Cola Bottle Caps from Mexico

Here's a Snow White Coca-Cola bottle cap produced in Mexico, "Blanca Nieves y los 7 Enanos". These images come from a couple different ebay sellers. The first pic is shown along with another cork-lined cap. Would this date it to circa 1960s or 70s?



In the next photo, we see more characters in the series on caps with plastic liners. The collection includes Ariel and the Beast. This would date them to at least the late 1980s and early 90s.


Later images via ricsan100.


It's probable that there was an earlier Disney series that was reintroduced years later with more recent characters. If anyone has more information on these Mexican caps, we'd love to hear from you.

    I have a good number of these and there is a date on the inside from 1977. The ones I have also have a number with them, Snow White is 29 and is labeled Branca De Neve. Google translate and the cap suggest that they are from Brazil.

      Thanks for commenting Brian. Yeah, I've seen both Coke and Pepsi caps from Mexico, Argentina and other Central and South American countries. But I haven't found any from Brazil yet. I'd love to do another blog post sharing your collection with the Portuguese text. Would you be willing to shares some pics? Do you have a scanner (300dpi tends to work well) or a camera?

      Hello Momitz, There certainly are collectors out there who would be interested in your bottle caps. Of course, the trick is connecting with the right buyer. I've seem lots of caps for sale online, but surprisingly not an over abundance of the Disney. Not sure if people don't want to give them up or if they just get bought up right away.

      If you have some scans of your bottle caps, particularly the Snow White characters, I'd be happy to post them and include a link back to you where people can contact you.
