Hi Chris
This was a promotional item for Bols, and they literally made thousands of them. You do see them on ebay from time to time, and they sell for about $50 on a good day. You are correct about the dates. Your bottles probably date from the 1970s or so.
The alcohol levels in this stuff are pretty high, so they should still taste fine--but that same alcohol preserves them, and keeps them from developing in the bottle the way some fine wines do.
Sorry I can't give you more exciting news.
