Favorite Lunchbox?

[sd72667]

My dad found that NFL lunchbox in a junk closet last week & he gave it to me. Mine has some rust on both sides. I'm trying to figure out how to soak the lunchbox in something IE vinegar or molasses but I don't want the existing paint to peel. I tried to post a pic but maybe forum rules doesn't allow it on my first post.

I had the Johnny Lightning box but paired down when I sold my diecast cars


Tarzan hasn't been mentioned yet, it's a treasure in my book.

Mission Impossible had a lunchbox but sadly it self destructed after 5 seconds.

^^Perfect ^^

I only ever had one lunchbox as a kid so I'm kind of nostalgic about it. I remember it because it had a spinner game on the back that we never played. I also really dig the graphics. The whole thing has kind of a Weebles Haunted House feel.

My favorites were Lost in Space, Batman 66, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, All three Bonanza's, The Wild Wild West and of course no brainer for me Battlestar Galactica!

Well my 3 favorite 60's shows are Star Trek, Batman, and mission impossible.
Mission Impossible never got a lunchbox (unfortunately)
The Trek lunchbox is highly sought after, you can't find one worth displaying (C-6 or better) for under $500. Same deal with Batman only it run around $200-$400.

^ That is a nice collection of NFL lunchboxes! Thanks for cluing me in on what's out there.

I saw the 1964 one on eBay earlier today. Has the Bears and Packers on one side and Giants and Browns on the other. Makes me wonder if the AFL made any boxes before the merger.

I never thought about collecting some NFL lunch boxes. You sparked an interest in them for me. Surprised I never got any of those as a kid because I was NFL obsessed for many years. Had sheets, bedspread, curtains, trashcan, posters, pencils, and lots of football cards, but for some reason, never got any of the lunch boxes.

The other ones are the 1978 and 1973



There is also a Redskins and 1964 NFC box and I think that's it.

My favorite lunchbox is my original Star Wars aluminum with the X-wing on one side and stormtroopers questioning Luke/Ben on the other. Mine has a large dent on the X-wing side from when I smashed it over the head of a bully in second grade who was a few grades higher than me. My mom still has that in her garage holding small tools and nails. I should reclaim that at some point...

I always thought the old Falcons uniforms were cool. They were one of the teams I never got to see on TV very often and it was a big deal to me to see teams that I didn't get to see very much.

Steve Bartkowski was slinging it when I was growing up. Beautiful unis and the 2-bar facemask.

I miss the 2-bar facemasks. Wish Atlanta would have kept those beautiful red unis.

The part of the country I grew up in got mostly Cowboys, Chiefs, Oilers, and Broncos on TV. AFC East and NFC Central and West were teams I didn't get to see a lot of.

Yeah I have the 1975 box, Seattle and Tampa
Bay weren't on it yet.

That Land of the Lost lunchbox is a beauty.

[Mr.Marion]

That NFL lunchbox is really cool and it's kind of remarkable because a 1975 one wouldn't have had Seattle on it and a 1977 one wouldn't have had Seattle in the NFC, so that could only be from 1976.
