This was my lunch box for my early grade school years. I will be 50 this year. It is a good memory for me. Mom would pack me a nice lunch and put little notes of affection inside. I felt close to Mom during the day through my lunch box. For along time it smelled like bananas. The tv show "flipper" was a favorite of mine.

It's amazing how something like this can bring back such vivid and fond memories .Very nice pam !!
I had one just like that in my first few years of school, & I just turned 50, so that defines the age of the lunch box for sure. I was the youngest of five, I don't think Mom had time for notes.
I haven't seen one of these since, Love it!
Very good Pamall,I just can't get a picture to up load on collectors weekly anymore. An idea would be excepted. Maybe they have had enough of me. Ha Ha
