Box Containing Nos. 68011-7E68018-0

Box is catalogued as containing E68011-7. Cards for those objects describe them as having been "in shaman's box." Stenciled on one side of this box are the Spanish words "Colorado Maduro," i.e. "dark brown," which is the term used on cigar boxes for a particular shade of cigar wrapper. One end of the box has the stenciled letters for part of a word visible: "Ro". It seems that some or all of this box was made from a cigar box?
