Anyone recognise this bottle?

[Tex N Oz]

I've purchased this NT Drought bottle from an antique store for just a few dollars because it's very unique (to me at least) and in super good shape.
No wear, no tear and the label is perfect.
I know it's a CUB bottle but was wondering how old it was, etc..

Not as old as my other 2 but would be at least 15yrs old

Looks similar to one a mate had in the early '80's

I bought one of those in that shape in 2010 while in Darwin.

The legendary Darwin Stubbie
There have been lots if versions over the years the oldest one I have seen was labelled VB and had the volume in fluid ounces.

These 2 were purhased in Darwin by my late father in the late 80's or early 90's.

The 2 litre bottle still has the original beer in it.

Thanks for the input guys. I wanted to use this bottle to put some home brew in for meetings but didn't want to if it were something more rare. I didn't believe it was as it was only a few dollars at the antique store and the guy thought it was from the mid 80's to the mid 90's but wasn't real sure. I've found a few on gumtree and other places for between $20 and $50 with the later full of beer and with a box. I'm not any sort of collector but it is a nice bottle.

Underneath the base of the 2.25 litre bottle, and around the lower part of the smaller one, it reads "This bottle remains the property of Carlton & United Breweries Ltd"

Yeah, I don't see anybody coming around with the SWAT team to recapture control of my awesome beer bottle from a defunct line of beer.
But if they do... They's gonna be trouble at the Ponderosa!! I HUGE Mexican stand-off with me sportin a FAT STUBBY and a fast hammer!!
"One step closer and the stubby GETS IT!!!!"
I'll be front page news with pictures of a broken stubby and me cuffed and stuffed into a cop car. Mum always said I was a bad seed.
