I say that this is my lunchbox collection, but this is really my husband’s pet collection – these are pretty much all his. Let’s take a look!
We picked up this A-Team one a few years back at a garage sale because really, who doesn’t like the A-Team?
This Star Wars one is identical to the one that my hubby used to take his lunch in kindergarten many years ago! I think he’d like our daughter to use it when she starts school, but she’s super girly and might not be easily sold on that idea …
This Star Wars one is super cool as well – I actually used to use it to take my lunch to an office job I worked at a few years back. After all, you’re never too old for Star Wars!
This My Little Pony Thermos is my contribution to the collection. I would love to find a matching lunchbox for it.
Now we come to the pride and joy of my hubby’s collection. He bought this one off of eBay several years ago, it’s circa approx 1980. I cannot say I share his love for Mr. Kotter, but it is a pretty sweet lunchbox …
On the inside lid it has a public service safety announcement. I guess it’s always good to remind kids to be safe?
It is also complete with Thermos!
Here’s our collection on display!
Do any of you readers collect lunchboxes? I’d love to hear which ones you have in your collection!
That safety poem is funny! “go on to have fun in the Safety Way” — as a parent this is cute, but as a former kid, geez 🙂
What a neat collection!
LOL, yeah, I am sure most kids were not readin that poem and saying “wow, I need to be safe!” Haha!
My husband and I collect lunch boxes too! I think the ones I have are from 80s and early 90s. Let see if I can remember them all… (some are packed away in a box in my folks basement because our current apartment is too small for all our stuff). Here’s the ones I can remember off the top of my head: Strawberry Short Cake, Star Wars, those are metal ones, the rest are the plastic ones… California Raisins, Muppet Babies, 90210, PeeWee’s Playhouse, Super Mario Bros. I think we have a few more too but I can’t remember, I really need to get those all out and on display! 🙂
OMG, Super Mario Bros?? That would be such an awesome lunch kit, wow! Sounds like you guys have a great collection!
