I had a look at a couple of additional reels of Audio Devices tape from
1965 and 1966. Both were darker and labeled with an "Certified for 800
bpi" sticker and well as a "Heavy Duty Made with 1.5 mil DuPont Mylar".
I'm concluding that the tape in question is pretty darned old.

I only have one reel of audiotape, and that has a tag of

with the switch to 800bpi
I've got a few old reels of milk-chocolate brown 7-track tape here and
was wondering if it's possible to date them accurately. The reels
themselves have the Audio Devices name molded into them; the rear white
flange is quite yellowed with age. The tapes have been used quite
heavily as they've be
