my new lunchbox
It's a 1962 Thermos metal barn lunch box. It has a matching thermos and it's what I use to carry lunch into the office. I scored if off ebay for less than what I'd spend on half tank of gas. Sure, its got some scratches and rusty hinges, but I'm comfortable with imperfection. I like seeing it at my desk while I'm typing. It reminds me that a few miles away, up a winding mountain road, is my farm. I carried this lunchbox from it and I'll carry it back inside—a comfort in stressful times and a nice thought even on the best of days. It's got moxie, and I like it with unapologetic gladness.

I love it! I remember my first lunchbox was a little plastic barn and silo for my milk...I believe it was fisher price. I'll have to find the picture
Very cool!
Love it!
That is one of the most amazing lunchboxes I've ever seen! I love unique ones like that instead of the bland ones adults are "supposed to" use.
That thermos looks pretty small for a real coffee drinker :>)
I LOVE my Stanley all metal thermos. Probably should name her?
Fantastic!
Oh my gosh! I remember that my very first lunchbox was a black patent leather Barbie lunchbox. She was dressed in some kind of pink fluffy skirted dress...lol....man, how I coveted that box! Thanks for the reminder!

Cool lunch box
Nice. I never had a lunch box cause I could walk home for lunch and then when I had to take a bus I was much too old for a lunch box. It was a paper bag lunch.
Now I see all the enjoyment I missed.
That is about the cutest lunch box I've seen -what a great deal you got.
vickie
ohh ,I want one ,lol
Oh that is just the best! Congrats on your "find"!
i think liking things with unapologetic gladness is the only way to live. and you needed a lunchbox with enough moxie to parallel your own!
That is such a cool lunch box, excellent find. Should keep you flowing towards your dream as you toil away at the office to raise the funds necessary to to make it a reality.
Absolutely fabulous... I love it!

I hate to say it but....I'M SO JEALOUS!!! GREAT SCORE!
Love it!!! Absolutely adorable. I want one!!!
so cute, and very you!
I love it! I've was looking for a new lunchbox for my husband after the old one wore out, but couldn't find one with enough personality to make it worth buying. I ended up making one instead. I like yours better.
Ok, I think they must have made these for a few years, 'cuz I SWEAR I sat next to one at lunchtime in K or 1st. I don't remember having a hard side one, but one that was paisley or something like it... FLASHBACK!
Lunch box envy x's 1000 !
Way cool!
Love it! Is there a "MOO" when you open the lid?!
groovy stuff. :)
Yes, very cool indeed!! The next best thing would be bringing a milk pail with your lunch wrapped in a kitchen towel, Laura Ingalls style. Perhaps that's what the rest of us could do; we'd be there in spirit.
@finsandfeathers: You are cracking me up this morning - Java junkies unite! We also have a tall, green Stanley thermos, I may just have to keep the name: "Stanley."
OMG - I LOVE IT! How totally fun! I want one too! LOL
ok. that rocks! totally beats my Laura Ingalls Wilder-Little House on the Prairie metal lunch box and my brother's Star Wars one that my mom saved! Does that date me?!!!!
Awesome! What fun it would be to use for my lunch. My mom sewed my lunch bag for me -- has sunflowers on it -- but that would be pretty nifty. All the other teachers would be jealous!
I love it! What a cool lunchbox.
Nice lunchbox!
I totally had that lunchbox when I was young!! Wow...cool find Jenna.
