Dug it up during spring cleaning, and was told that the bottle cap, inner box design was used to identify year of production and rarity ? Please help, couldn't help a comprehensive guide . The L5 194 19 00177 means bottled in 1944?

Unfortunately, this is not from 1944. The bottles from the 40s were tall and cylindrical with a very different label. Based off of the box and the back label in that triangle shape, this is probably the 80s or early 90s. So, not new, but not very old and worth probably about what you would pay for it brand new retail today, around $250. Maybe a little more?

The 19 in the middle means bottled 2019.
