Bit of an update: the typeface has been identified pretty definitely as being "Recut Caslon," a Caslon variant
that's been in use since at least 1907. Which means, obviously, that the strips could indeed have been printed
in around 1910 -- although also at any time thereafter.

edit to add: we have the typography.guru forum to thank for that ID, particularly a contributor who goes by
"Greg Yerbury."
