Definitely 1920s Amber glass. these glass bottles from the 1920s have several distinct design elements that solidify their origin from the 1920s era rather than the 1950s.
Deciding Factors include,
-The threaded metal caps, the short simple aluminium or tin screw caps (especially on the " Aniline Dye" bottle) feature primitive, shallow threading typical of the 1920s glass manufacturing transition from corks to screw tops.
- Typograply and Label design characteristic of the late Art Nouveau and early art deco styles of the 1920s.
- The historic street address 67 Castlereagh Street, Sydney, without post-dool code is highly indicative of pre-world war 2 commercial label printing.
