Approximately, how old are these? Any guesses?

Re: Ebay find. Food Packet Survival General Purpose
Hey Mahalo,
The Food Packet Survival General Purpose replaced both the Food Packet Survival Arctic and Tropic in 1965. It has gone about a half dozen changes over the last 52 years since then.
These here on this listing I believe are from the early 70's.
Here are some photos of the main changes of the FPSGP
There is one very early 1st generation that no stock photos have been taken of. I have one and plan to review and document it very soon because not even Natick Food Labs took photos of it like it's official 1st gen onward.

I would be thrilled if they were 1st gen FP's. And even more so if I'm lucky enough to win one!
And Roncamp, 1st gen FPSGP should go no higher than $40 shipped.
