Question on unopened Drum Tobacco Pouch

There has been an unopened Drum Tobacco pouch on Ebay listed for a while and I know there are people on here that are in the know on these types of items. Would this be an actual pouch that a T206 could be in? I listed the item below. I would be very interested to hear from someone who knows about these.

The best bet for collectors is to buy/price tobacco packs as display pieces to go along with their cards and not packs that will contain a valuable card. If you price it as a cardless display piece, or if the pack is already empty, you won't be disappointed-- and the packs do make nice display items. They're interesting collectible items in and of themselves.
