Is oil on canvas. Appears the bottle graphics are a 1905 logo. Looks to be Lillian Nordica. Anyone know anything about this piece? Is it something reproduced later? Thanks all!

I believe this piece was made up for the bottlers to display in their offices at some point in the 50's or so. The print quality is poor, off color, and I believe it is on cardboard. Looks like it has been trimmed as well. If it were original from 1904 it would be printed with the chromolithograph process that uses patterns of random dots and multiple colors instead of the perfect uniform 4 color process dots we are used to seeing today.
Can you post a picture of the back ?
here is some information. What is confusing is the fact you say it is oil on canvas. A picture will help...

I am posting some more pics for ya.
I don't think this is as old as the bottle in the picture, just an observation. Thanks for the comments, just a little curious after seeing another item on the site.
I have had this on my wall for 25years, just a picture. Never thought of as a collectible, not to mention i have worked for Coca Cola since '94 : j.
Thanks again for the interest and i hope the new pics help.
