Does Anyone Know What This Is???

Interesting!

the only marking on the bottom is the burn stamp that says "Made in Havana Cuba" (picture is shown a in my earlier post).

One thing that I just noticed that intreaged me is that the hinges are silver in color ... most humidors and cigar boxes that I have ever seen (which i cant say are that much, really), are always gold colored or bronze.

If there's enough wood, it can be turned into a humidor. Granted, that'd cause it to lose any antique collectability value, but it'd make an awful cool humidor.
If it makes you happy, that's what matters.

Ahh, sorry I missed that pic. That would date it to pre-1960 (http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/info-packaging.htm)

Awesome ... so at least I know now that its 50+ years old!

thanks for the link, this website is very informative!

Now to see if I can narrow down the year somehow! maybe based on the logo stamp.
