I found these prints at a small town flea market. I was actually purchasing an old farm picture in a barn wood frame. When I got it home and was taking the backing off the picture to futher examine it first was a Kansas City Star paper from Dec 1944. Very intresting articals about the war. Second was both of the prints. I was so excited about the whole adventure of finding coca cola items with out even knowing it.
Your prints are not old. They are simply color copies of the 1904 Lillian Nordica coupon ad.
I'm finding this coupon ad is an often copied/reproduced piece. I recently purchased what I thought was a complete original, only to receive something about half the actual size. It had same both front and back graphics printed on card stock, but print quality was no where near the real McCoy. Somebody obviously took a lot of time and effort to reproduce a mini version. I guess it could be an authorized reproduction, maybe to celebrate an anniversary, but no real way to tell. Anyway, wanted to mention there are copies out, similar to yours, this is an iconic image that people like to see, so often reproduced in my experience. -- Dave
