Memories Thru Lunch Boxes...

















Several years ago I decided to buy the two lunch boxes I remembered having as a child (Mickey Mouse and The Partridge Family). Sixty lunch boxes later...I HAVE TO STOP! Such memories with each one. I posted some of my favorite music lunchboxes today. Whether you loved Bobby Sherman, The Osmonds, The Brady Bunch, The Bee Gees or as I did, The Partridges...we packed our bologna sandwiches, chips, cookie and Kool Aid each day and headed for school. I read that in the 80's, they stopped making metal lunchboxes when a family sued after their kid got hit in the head with one. A shame as they now hold such memories for our generation. Enjoy and let me know what lunch box you had and loved????

    Only 60! Great post and pics. Thanks for stopping by CollectInTexas Gal. There is definately room for a 'PinkPrince', especially one with pretty pink roses for a background...Sue

    This is great. It really is amazing as some of these are worth a fortune. Too bad my MIL threw away my husbands Davy Crockett lunchbox! who knew?

    Man, do those lunchboxes ever bring back memories! Such an innocent time. That Brady Bunch one is a riot!
    Thank you for your response to my painting query on my blog. You say you're not an expert, but you're still an awfully nice person all the same!

    I am sooooo jealous that you are going to Round Top!! I love that show, but it falls during Canton weekend so I will not be going. I really hope to set up some day during that show! Have a great time and I know you will find lots of great "JUNK"! Also, thanks for your prayers concerning the passing of my mother-in-law. I appreciate your thoughtfulness! Have a safe trip.....Cathy
