Hessian Posted February 12, 2015 Share #14 Posted February 12, 2015 Great finds Ricardo! Congrats. The green box with the bird on it was a pack of cigarettes. I've got the same one with the cigarettes still inside. It would be interesting to get the handwriting on the inside of that package translated.
