Default Johnnie Walker Red and Black

Hi everyone, I have just started collecting JW bottles and apparel.
I have just bought 2 bottles which I have been lead to believe are over 30 years old. They are a bottle of red and a bottle of black label which were an Italian released bottles.
If I upload some pics can I get an accurate dating and aprox value?

Thanks

I know the pics are not great quality but this is all I have until they physically turn up ( still in transit to me)

I hope this helps

From the design of the labels and the closures being used , these bottles were dated by Johnnie Walker's parent company (Diageo) from the early-mid 1970s.
