Old Lunchboxes

no I know it's a little rough but I meant bad in a cool way

Cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is BAD.

Yeah but it's from 1967...and I could get it rather cheaply.

I sent the seller a message asking for an inside picture.

Good move. Maybe the seller didn't think anyone cared about the inside of the box and it is all good. Best to have a peek for yourself, though. I've seen some otherwise nice boxes that were just trash on the inside. Not that big of a deal if you get it cheap and for display only, but if you are paying good money for it and it is for a collection, it's pretty important that it not be trashed inside.

Hope it looks good, Dude. I've seen plenty of the '78 boxes, in fact, one of my buddies has one on display that was his as a kid, but I've never seen a '67 one. That's a very cool looking lunchbox.

Guys...I'm not much familiar with prices and stuff...

What do you guys think of this one?

I kinda want to...but I don't know if it's worth it...please educate me.



P.S. I kinda know about the 78 Chris Reeve lunchbox...there's a lot of them...and I kinda gauged its price now...I'm getting one of those as well...I just don't have any idea about this older one and in that condition.

I appreciate any heads up on the matter.

One rumor I heard was that kids started using them as weapons and beating the crap out of other kids with them so they were banned but most likely the reason was they cost less to make them out of plastic and since they weighed less too, it would save on the shipping costs as well. Everything leads back to money!!

I thought maybe cause they would rust

[Hector]

Hector, I don't know if that's a good deal or not, but I do imagine it is somewhat hard to come by. It looks in decent condition from the photos, given the age. Kinda worn, but balance that with it not popping up too often.

The only thing that would concern me is no photos of the inside. That thing could be ate up on the inside of the box. I tend to think if it wasn't rusty as heck on the inside, there would be some shots of the inside.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'd love to get some of one's I had as a kid, but I am sure of the prices on these things. It's a task list for another time. I have too many old and noew goodies to try and get money for.

Its interesting that the classic metal lunchbox is a thing of the past - I wonder why?

One rumor I heard was that kids started using them as weapons and beating the crap out of other kids with them so they were banned but most likely the reason was they cost less to make them out of plastic and since they weighed less too, it would save on the shipping costs as well.

I had breakfast at a Shoney's the other day on a job and to my surprise the lobby had some metal lunch boxes for sale. They were all Pez. Pez Fireman, Pez Policeman, etc. They had about 6 different ones. I almost bought one since I thought it was so odd tosee a metal lucnhbox again. And yes, they had the thermos.
