Hi,
While cleaning out an old house in New Zealand we found this bottle in one of the wall cavities. I've been looking around and trying to find any indication of its age etc but can't quite seem to find the exact label. There is usually some difference between what I can find and the bottle, like the PD Seal icon is not present online, or the label isn't split into two with a strip at the bottom, so I thought I would ask here if anyone could shed some light onto it. Any ideas on age etc? It's a spring top bottle obviously, still sealed.
Thanks
J

What’s on the back of the bottle, any indication of proof and/or size?

Apparently not, nothing on the back other than it has won medals. I'll try and get a pic though.

This was an interesting read about a similar bottle (but screwcap): https://www.drinksplanet.com/have-an-old-unopened-bottle-of-dawson-105962.html

Your spring cap bottle is likely to be 1950’s

For me this bottle was produced between the 60s and the 80s, maybe the back could help but I can't find anything to verify exactly.
