The "BABE RUTH'S WINNING CIGARETTE" font does not look vintage to me at all.

Agree with everyone above. My guess would be 1970s.

I think David makes a great point. While Ruth is in retrospect considered a great home run hitter, he wasn't yet in 1918. That pack had to be created later than the date on the stamp.

I'll leave it to the pack experts to decide this, and I'm not beginning to hint that the pack is real or period--I have no clue. Still, I would point out that Babe Ruth tied for the MLB lead in HRs in 1918; moreover, in 1919 he had more than twice as many HRs than anyone else in the AL and more than three times as anyone in the NL. If you were to feature a HR hitter in that time frame, who else would you have selected? And why, if your intent was to create a convincing fake, would you even create a dating problem as suggested when you could use a Yankee photo and mark it with a copyright date a few years later, when he was blasting 40+ HR pretty much every year?
