Default Curious about age of JW Black Label bottle

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.

Default JW Black label

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

Default Johnnie Walker Black - late 1950s

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.
