From the looks of the top the bottle appears to be ABM and could date to as late as 1940. I have seen BIM ones with 1934 tax stamps, so we know that they did re-use older containers on occasion.

Well, I've found from other sources that it's no newer than the 1920s, because by the 30s de Kuyper was using a different style of closure.
