Favorite Metal Lunch Box as a Kid?

What was your favorite metal lunch box growing up as a kid? I still have a couple of my favorites but the Space Program Astronaut, with the secret milk money compartment- still a favorite. The glass lined Thermos seemed to last about a week for me, I remember pouring slowly to separate shards of glass from milk on its last usable day.

Very Cool....I wanted one badly

But Mom wanted us to have hot lunch at school. So no box

and that was back in the day they cooked real food!!

Kind of interesting topic. Just the other day we were talking about those old kids metal lunches. I had one and maybe two through the years just can't remember. They came with a small thermos that would keep things hot or cold. I beleive mine was Roy Rogers. Lol

Talking about the lunch boxes. I was at the local clinic/hospital this week and in walked a doctor I have known for many years, and he was carrying one of those old time kids lunch box and two books. Lol I had to smile and brought back old memories.

Mine was spiderman

Those old lunch boxes are now collectables, and if you have the matching thermos you have struck gold

Many of those old lunchbox thermoses can bring you a large handful of nice hundred dollar bills if it’s in good shape, while the boxes themselves might only be 20 to a couple hundred dollars depending on the artwork







Used to be you could get them for less then a buck but those days are sadly long gone

I blame eBay

I've still got my Grizzly Adams box, but the thermos is long gone

Kind of goes with

About 10 years ago or so, the company I work for had to clear a site for a new Dollar General. On the site previously was an old 5&10 Ben Franklin store. There were 6 semi trailers full of old stuff, brand new. You name it. The excavation guys pick through it first and there were brand new metal lunchboxes. Batman, spiderman, you name it.

My friends Beatles lunch box that I stomped on and smashed in about 1965; it would probably be worth a few dollars today.

I had this one

Not mine.A friend of mine now owns one.Every time I visit him I try to buy it.

And he'd still be your friend
