Default wouldn't think it's a fantasy item

it appears to be more along the lines of what would be an actual caddie label (one that would generally be found on a crate/case) attached to a legitimate tin. Sometime a cheap manufacturer would cross use things to use stock or save money so a too large label might have been used. This label however is the pinnacle of such work - expensive to produce and unsuitable for such a box - an unlikely marriage.

There is no specific crate label guide or site that I know of - so one would have to rely on a paper or tobacco label dealer for their recollections of such a label. Whether the label is real or not (reproduction/copy) is a separate question - it should be examined in person.
Finally not sure the tin and label match up age wise - the container's construction and materials seem more recent than the label.

As I was posting this picture elsewhere thought it might be appropriate here. One of the few BB trade cards I have. One of the US stamp series was based on this image.
