Anyone ever seen this on a speaker?

Saw an online post for some free stuff. In the pic I could make out some old speaker cabinets. Off I went. I made it to the speakers and got them into my car. Cerwin Vega 212! It was dark out and as I was driving back home I glanced over and thought I saw the words "cerwin vega" on the back of the cabinet in white printing. Got them home, put them in the garage and went in.

The next day I went to take a closer look at them and did a double take..The "cerwin vega" that I thought I saw was actually "cabinet flaw". Both of these speakers are labelled "cabinet flaw" on the back in white stencilled letters. These must have been some kind of rejects or something?

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Some companies circulate their seconds, some don't.
I once owned a Gibson Les paul custom that was clearly stamped "Second" on the back of the headstock right under the serial number.
 
So are they Cerwin Vega 212s with cabinet flaw stenciled on the back, or unknown speakers with cabinet flaw stenciled on the back?
 
They are cerwrin 212's with cabinet flaw stenciled on the back. I am wondering if anyone has ever come across a pair of speakers labelled "cabinet flaw".
 
Wondered it they were returned to the store for a scratch or ding and they stenciled it to prevent a resell. Doesn't make any sense for the factory to do such a thing.
 
Kind of funny when you think about all the speakers with worse "flaws" that have been repaired on this site.

I don't see a store having a stamp for something like that. They were probably sold at a reduced price. When manufacturing was very labor intensive, it wouldn't have made sense to throw out a cabinet with a minor flaw, and they probably weren't expensive enough that it was worth fixing.
