I have seen a few of those packs for sale recently. Hopefully Jon C will come on and offer his valued opinion. I had seen these weeks ago and dismissed them as cinderella packs. (in other words not period and not valuable). Just a guess on my part. Hopefully I am wrong. They look neat.
and a quick Google search turned this up.. Dating started at 1932 with series 102, and went up to 1955 with the 1" series 125. From 1956-59, the 3/4" series 125 DeWitt Clinton tax stamp was used.

Sorry-- i just thought it might been fake or not of the era. Was actually searching for something else and came across it.

Hard for me to see this as a 1950s thing, or much before 2013 for that matter. Just my opinion, but I'd be afraid, very afraid...

Interesting. No pictures of the side panels. I have seen these with addresses on the side that contain a zip code, which of course means that they would be mid 1960s at the earliest. Could this be earlier?

I've seen these Home Run Packs in the past, just not with Ruth on the side. I don't think they are vintage, probably 1960's, 70's. Only my opinion, could be wrong.

My guess is its a fake. There is a copyright date (photo below) on the bottom of the package that appears to be 1918. Babe Ruth wasn't really known to be a home run hitter until the early '20s, right? So, I can't see a pack of "Home Run" cigarettes dated 1918 with Ruth's image when at that time he wasn't really a home run hitter. Anyway, JMO.
