To commemorate the American Bicentennial, 7-UP produced a set of 50 cans that, when properly arranged in a pyramid, would display an image of Uncle Sam. The front of each can is printed with one of the 50 United States and includes key information about the state. Each can is numbered 1 through 50, each state in alphabetical order. The image of Uncle Sam is made up with small “7-UP” words printed on the reverse of each can in red, white, and blue. Can 1 describes how to build the pyramid, and can 50 is inscribed “UNITED WE STAND”. This lot includes at least 5 complete sets, with display boxes, of the can pyramids and a box of cans that might produce 2 more complete pyramids. Intact tops and bottoms, never filled. Also included in this fantastic collection are “7-UP” printed plastic shelf tags, 2 packages of blank 7-UP Bottling Company receipts, an original box from St. Louis, a flat wooden case of green glass 7-UP bottles, and hundreds of unused bottle caps from the Winnemucca 7-UP Bottling plant. This is a diverse collection of highly collectible items in great condition. Unique opportunity! -60162
