Questions about an old box?

Hi, I am hoping to get some information on an old cigar
box I was given by a friend about 10 years ago.
It came from his grandmother's home in her estate. On it it says.

Top of box:

Brooks & Co.
Coronas
Exceptional Quality
Very Mild
Beware Of Imitations T. E. Brooks & Co.

Front Of Box:
Coronas
Cellophaned

Small Box On Front:
The cigars herein contained
wee manufactured retail
at not more that five cents
and are so tax paid

Sides of box:
boite nature (in 1/2 inch letters)

Bottom of box:
Factory No. 160 1st Dist. PA. 50

Factory No. 160 !st Distrist
State Of Pennsylvania
NOTICE: The manufacturers of the cigars
herein contained have compelled with all the
requirements of law, every person is cautioned
not to use either this box for cigars again, or
the stamp thereon again, nor to remove the
contents of this box without destroying said
stamp under the penalties provided by law in
such cases.










From the pictures, you can see that the box itself is in really
nice shape, but the original hinges were frozen with rust and
could not be freed, so I carefully replaced them with new brass hinges.

First question is is this box worth anything?

Second, if not I was wondering if it would make a suitable
humidor if I added the equipment?

I did the Jr.'s University test of putting a light inside and
closing the box in a dark room to test the seal and no light escaped.

What do you all think?

Keep...sell....or humidor?

Thanks
