This is an ad from a 1911 magazine. I paid about $12.00 for this. Thought it was cool, but I can't seem to find the value of this. Can you help?

Hi, These old Coca-Cola periodical advertisements are a lot of fun. I love the way they marketed the beverage early 20th century. A very similar (if not exact) example is listed on page 570 of Petretti's 12th edition collector's price guide, valued at $18. Hope this helps. -- Dave
You paid market price. But the old ads are cool - so you did fine.
first : do you like it ? do you buy it for make money later ?
the price of anything is what you ready to pay for. If you want resell it for profit forget magazine ads, I saw a 'rare' 1906 ad sold on Ebay for $800, my bid at this time was $750 and I was mad to miss it but one year later I find it also on Ebay for $40 !!! only unique art (original painting) need money any other items can be reproduced, 'industrial' things are made extensively, even if rare for a time you can find many later. A record fellow collector find 25 mint copy of a record that nobody ever seen only the producer catalog talk about, before these 'happy' find a copy could be 'priceless' but after it's 'just' a rare record :-)
