A lot of cute in a small volume, this is a 1962 Fisher-Price child's lunchbox / sandwich box in the shape of a barn. A mostly plastic affair - aside from the metal retaining section in the lid, which would originally have held a tiny flask in place - it is illustrated with charming farm-themed designs on paper. It's just very very charming and small - measuring only 13cm long, 6cm wide and 11cm in height. It's in good condition structurally with no chips, cracks or losses to the plastic, whilst the paper shows signs of both age and use. Does that add to its appeal? We think so...

1980s Bright Blue Plastic “Dairylea” Lunch Box

It might seem somewhat churlish to ask someone to pay for something that originally was free, but there you go! This was a free lunchbox, part of a promotion for Kraft Dairylea. Presumably one had to buy (and presumably eat) a certain quantity of the aforementioned cheese triangles in order to qualify, so there really is no such thing as a free lunch(box). In any event, we reckon it dates from the 1980s and is a rather a nice thing - the branding is unmistakeable to those of a certain age and diet.

It's a 19cm by 9cm by 14cm (8 in. by 3½ in. by 5½ in. approx.) chunk of bright blue plastic (not including the handle) with a slightly worn "Dairylea" sticker on the outside and a sticker for the promotion on the inside of the lid. It looks like it's never been used. It should be, at least for something...

Vintage Yellow Wicker Effect Lunch Box / Tin – British Made

Jon Nix — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 15:43:14 +0000

A very fine looking tin lunchbox (or tin with a handle, if you prefer) with a yellow woven wicker effect pattern and "British Made" printed on it. This item is of some age - we suspect at least from the 1950s - and it looks great as a display piece. The signs of use and wear all add to the character and appeal of it, but it is in good clean condition otherwise.

One edge and corner has slight gaping but the latch fastener, handle, and hinges are sound and the tin is structurally very good. With the lid down, the tin measures 20cm by 11cm by 9.5cm (8in. by 4¼in. by 3½in.).
