Lunch box


When I first moved out onto my own, my mother gave me a bunch of things she'd saved of mine - including a metal 1980s Strawberry Shortcake lunch box with Thermos intact.

Evidently a lot of other moms saved them, because there are lots of vintage ones up for bids on eBay. While Strawberry Shortcake boxes are fairly common on there - going for between $7 and $15 - there are other, more rare ones selling for $250 to $600. Those are for a VW bug box, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Beatles and Kiss boxes. Other boxes include Popples, Flintstones, Sesame Street, Peanuts, Scooby Doo and more.

What kind of lunch box did you have? Share in the comments section.

About Me

I'm as close to being a local girl as it gets - I grew up few counties away, went to Gardner-Webb, then stayed in the area after graduation. I started as a reporter at The Star, but have since moved over to the design side, and more recently took over the online editor position.
