Can you date this Trilene/Garcia Platyl?

Aloha Ohana,
A friend gave me a few older tackle boxes. Inside I found these spools and I'm wondering about approximate age. Thanks

Donno, but it's got to be 50's or early 60's for the hard braid.  Trilene came out in 1959.

Have a '75 Garcia catalog, and the Platyl in there has the same label as you depict, although it appears to be a dark brown color (maybe same as yours; photos are notoriously inaccurate with color).
