My friend just found this bottle covered with dust in his shop in New York. We are really wondering how old this bottle could be.

Included a few pictures I took. Any idea on the age would be greatly appreciated.

This bottle was introduced in 1960 - this can be ascertained from the main and bottom labels
See image of a 1963 advert which is identical to your bottle
Available until the late 1960s
So dated between 1960-1969

Based on the design of the labels and the closure being used - the Diageo Archive Department dated your Johnnie Walker Black bottle from the late 1950s. :)
