HISTORY ON
THESE CAPS: They were issued at

(actually they were issued before the
fair opened as a promotion, as early as
1961 as per the copyright on them).
There were 23 issued and used at the
World's Fair, the smaller ones were used
on a "Special Map" (very rare) for the
1964-65 New York World's Fair 1964-1965.
They used 23 caps and descriptions of
the sites on a paper map of the World's
Fair with 23 spots for bottle caps with
buildings, pavilions and attractions.

rust spots, so buy them wherever you get
them and spray them with Krylon
