Looking for some help on identifying an advertising piece, it a Home Run cigarette wooden display piece that measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and 1/2" thick. Any help here ?

can you show a picture of the back? I haven't seen this before, and could very well be wrong, but both this and the Babe Ruth piece look like fantasy pieces that someone ran off an inkjet printer and slapped on a piece of wood.

The image on the wood block is so poor compared to the actual poster or pack, that it looks like a bad photocopy.

Thanks for your input, it is likely a poorly done "art" project/fantasy piece. Appreciate everyone's help.
That cigarette brand was popular back in the day, so it seems. There are a lot of ads and items surrounding it. The one in question looks reprinted after the fact, as others have stated. Most times these kind of ad pieces, if real, will be very sharp looking not dull and faded.
