Pictorial Price Guide to Metal Lunch Boxes & Thermoses

Excitement, adventure, the thrill of the chase, the joy of a find, the disappointment of a miss. All of these emotions belong to any collector, including the collector of Lunch Boxes! Lunch Boxes are relatively new on the scene. They came into use about the time television created popular heroes to emulate. Children had to have their hero on their Lunch Box! We gave those Lunch Boxes hard service and when our hero went off the air, we found other heroes. Most lunch boxes went on to the next child in the family or were discarded. Today's collector enjoys the challenge of finding these long unappreciated works of art. Some like the historical value."I had one of these when I was a kid!" Some because they rode a stickhorse with Hoppy, Roy and Annie; or they leaped tall buildings with Superman; or they were Snow-white waiting to be kissed by a prince. It may be for artistic value, "the design is superb...so detailed!"; Or it may be for return on investment, "I can make lots of money!"; or a host of other reasons. There was a time when Lunch Boxes were almost never found in antique shops. They were not considered collectible by dealers. Times have changed!!! You can go to the biggest or smallest antique shows and you'll always find Lunch Boxes. This book is designed to help both the new collector and the seasoned veteran in the style, manufacturer, year and approximate value of metal Lunch Boxes produced in America from 1950 to 1987. Look up a special find, a prized keepsake, or read it just for fun.
