Lunchboxes at Apricot Tree

[DocDrako]

I was recently traveling and we stopped at a restaurant in Firebaugh, CA. It was a nice place to eat, but I was more interested in the awesome collection of lunchboxes they had decorating the place. I wanted to take pictures of them all, but didn't have the time or the energy. All of their lunchboxes were separated by theme for the most part, and I was in awe of the beauty of classic lunchboxes. Here are the 15 pictures I took (sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, but I'm no photographer). I hope the images show up this time. If they don't, check out my user gallery. Enjoy!






























This pic gives you an idea of how they are diplayed.

I have to go back there someday and see all of the lunchboxes I missed.

Wow, I see he has a "blue Beatles"

That one worth about $450.00 alone.

Way more in nice condition

It definetely doesn't deserve to be displayed between Bee Gees and Bobby Sherman

Wow! That looks awesome! I love lunchboxes, but I'm afraid to branch off to collect them. I've got too many things I collect now. Maybe someday........

There were so many more I wish I could have taken photos of them all. The next time I travel, I'd love to go back there. They also had a thermos display but I didn't take any pics of it.

Here's a link that tells about the place.

Those lunch boxes bring me back. It reminds me of when I was in gradeschool. Those were the hot items. I used to have theMarvel one. All the kids would ask me at lunchtime who everyone was and point to each character.
