  I tried feeding the prices into the calculator at www.measuringworth.com/ukcompare/ for 1906 (when Central Station first opened), 1919 (for the twitterer), 1925, and 1950. I doubled the result amount to get AU$ in current value. The 1906 date gave prices for 9d spirit glasses roughly the same as today (c.$6), but the 'quarts' seemed prohibitively expensive at over $100. Is a quart the same as a bottle? The 1950 date gave exceedingly cheap 9d glasses (c.$2), but the quarts were roughly equivalent to today (c.$33). I am inclined to the earlier (1906) date - they were profiteering on the quarts! The SMH has reports of the new Central Railway Refreshment Rooms being the place of regular Sunday booze-ups, because everywhere else was closed. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14758653

  The plastic lettering looks post-war, maybe 1946-47. I've seen this photo in NSWGR literature from the period, just have to find it.
