I recently bought a cremo box to make a uke. It's pretty much like yours. Cremo was one of the first mfgs to offer a 5 cent cigar in 1929. In 1932 they lowered the price to 3 for 10 cnts. Mine shows the 5 cent price crossed out and the 3 for 10 cent price. I am guessing dates it to the early 30s.The inside is great as well. I'm trying to decide if I want the face of the uke to be the back of the box so the top graphics are preserved on the back and the interior is visible thru the soundhole.
