Old box of brass

I've had this box of .45's on my shelf for a few years now. These are old balloon headed cases. Just curious if anyone has seen something similar and/or has any idea of age. I first thought that someone had scribbled on it but under the black crayon it says 'Primed'. I'm assuming the box was used for both primed and unprimed cases and the factory just marked out whichever did t apply.

Best I can tell, they have never even loaded. Guy I got them from (at a gunshop) just wanted to get rid of them because they would t fit in his shell holder. I'm assuming its because there is no extractor groove.
