"Kids today don't know how easy they have it with those soft, malleable lunch boxes that squeeze easily into their bookbags. There was a time when we'd beg our parents for a cooler design on our lunch boxes, because the darn things were always stuck in our hands, too big and clunky to hide inside a backpack. The challenges of our early days were worth the struggle, though,"
"The vintage lunch boxes worth the most money are the ones featuring colorful depictions of popular TV shows, movies, comic books, board games, and discontinued brands. Lunch boxes with "Star Trek," "The Jetsons," "The Lone Ranger," "Dudley-Do-Right," and various vintage Disney characters can be worth hundreds of dollars, while more obscure ones, such as "Pac-Man" and "Strawberry Shortcake" can also fetch a pretty penny."
Vintage lunch boxes featuring popular TV shows, movies, comic books, board games, and discontinued brands command the highest prices. Examples include themed boxes like Star Trek, The Jetsons, The Lone Ranger, Dudley-Do-Right, Pac-Man, Strawberry Shortcake, and various vintage Disney characters. Examples include King-Seely's The Munsters (1965) at $1,000–$2,500; Adco's Mickey and Friends (1954) at $1,000–$2,000; and Aladdin's The Beatles (1966) at $500–$1,500. The 1954 Superman metal lunch box made by Universal Studios has fetched nearly $12,000 at auction and typically resells between $1,000 and $16,000. Items must be at least twenty years old to be vintage, and condition greatly affects value.
