Old bottle with 75cL at bottom - MarcNovice - 10-20-2017

Bought some bottles at an estate sale for a few bucks each. One, Grand Vin de chateau Latour, is missing half of the label including the date. the bottom of the bottle states the volume at 75cL. How long ago did bottlers use the 75cL designation rather than 750mL?
