When I was in elementary school, in the 1960s, I always wanted a metal lunch box. I took my lunch to school in a brown paper bag. Now I have a collection of 40 vintage metal lunch boxes and I am very happy!
I remember on Little House on the Prairie, the girls carried their lunches to school in actual round metal buckets- I guess that's why they call them lunch pails.
I was one of the last. Had mine circa 1983-84. I see alot of things I use to use or have in an antique store now. Amazing how fast times changed. Wish I could see this museum. So many things arent made as well as they use to be.
These are the lunch boxes I remember having from first through fifth grade: First Grade: Speed Buggy Second Grade: Drag Strip Third Grade: Space: 1999 Fourth Grade: Peanuts Fifth Grade: Star Wars
I can't remember which lunch box I had in the late 60s / early 70s. I do remember always getting orange drink to put in the thermos. But sadly one day, the glass inside broke while I was at school. I know glass is the best insulator for hot and cold. But it's too fragile for kids. They eventually switched the inside to plastic. They shouldve had it that way from the beginning. Lots cheaper to manufacture. All kids would have to do is throw a couple ice cubes in their drink before school or even during lunch. Anyway, I still remember crying my eyes out when I noticed the glass broke. Lunch lady saw and gave me a free milk. I remember how much milk was when I was in kindergarten in 1969. It was a nickle.
Wow! I love this museum. Brings back a lot of memories.
