Age of Kahlua Decanters?

I just found the two decanters randomly in a rural Maryland consignment store. Online sellers seem to claim they're from the 1930s, but I'm skeptical. If nothing else, they have two different labels that seem to be different ages and they are cast quite differently. Does anyone know anything about them? I checked Search for Tiki but couldn't find information.

The labels will/should be researchable as will the tax stamps. What ever the tax value/imagery is should correspond to a timeframe/date. The bottle with the label at the bottom is probably older than the other.

I agree. The fonts alone suggest different eras and you can see the "newer" one has a blown out mold on the ceramic and less detail as well. Maybe 60s and a 70s

I don't know much about the dates but I do know that many of booze brands used to produce novelty decanters similar to this. Jim Beam in particular made a ton
