Default Home Run Cigarettes - Are they really Vintage?

I've always had my doubts about Home Run cigarettes being vintage to the deadball era, yet you often see packs or ad pieces sold as being vintage to pre 1920. Well, I never really said anything until I noticed that Jon Canfield posted his full carton on the June B/S/T...the carton has a zip code which dates the cigarettes to at least post 1960. Anyone ever seen any advertisements or proof that these cigarettes existed pre 1960s? Anything?

Here's a story about the poster that sold in the 2008 REA auction on Carlton's website
