The writing on the labels seems to be done by a "modern" pen and not a fountain pen. These modern type of pens only came into broader use during the 1940s so I think the labels have been made more recently (I used to collect pens)

WHY NOT THE PEN IS MIGHTER THAN THE SWORD, IF THE GUY WITH THE SWORD DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOU THAT IS.

TOBACCO WAS AND IN SOME PLACES STILL IS A VALUABLE TRADE GOOD, SO SMOKEING OR CHEWING SUPPLYS WERE WELL PROTECTED. A BAMBOO CONTAINER WOULD DO THE JOB WELL IN THE TROPICS. I AGREE ON THE OTHER CONTAINER AND ITS CONTENTS NOT LIKELY SHAMANS KIT BUT PERHAPS TROPHYS OR THE MAKEINGS FOR A NECKLACE OR SOMETHING AND MOST LIKELY FROM AUSTRALIA.

Since this thread is not directly weapons related, I will close this interesting thread for now.
