Yeah that label looks suspiciously white for one as old as that. Hard to tell without higher-res photos if it's a real NOS label or just a modern reproduction. Even without the label being correct it's still a nice internal thread soda bottle though.

I think the label has faded due to the bottle been washed several times.
It has been suggested that the bottle is could be sold without the label and the label sold separately, the big issue is that I don't know how to remove the label without damaging it. Also I don't have a clue how much I should advertise it for.

Take a razor blade on angle, almost flat against bottle & slowly work your way under label to remove it. give it a try. As for Price maybe throw on ebay for $9.99 opening Bid & no reserve & see what happens? Good Luck. LEON.

I was more referring to the colour of the paper, which would typically be expected to have gone yellow at this point. I don't think yellowed paper becomes white no matter how many times you wash it, though I admit I've never tried.

Is there any chance a Guinness bottler (or pub?) refilled an old bottle and slapped a label on it?
