    There are some killers in here. Thankfully, I have a bunch of them – Davy Crockett, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Welcome Back Kotter, Emergency and Mickey Mouse Club. I’ve never seen the Cyclist Moped or the suitcase with travel stickers looking one next to it. How many total lunchboxes do you have?

      The Cyclist box is from 1982. One side features the boys on bicycles, the other side features a young man on a dirt bike.

      The suitcase box is from 1964 and is called Traveler. There is a blue version from 1962.

      The 1977 Go West box (bottom shelf) is interesting because it has a compass that you can spin!

      Think I have about 70 lunchboxes altogther (some on display and some in storeage). People often ask if there is a box that I don’t have that I would like to have. Yes! It is a 1968 box shaped like a loaf of bread (with a tomato soup can thermos). It is very Andy Warhol.

    Hi Allee – I do! I have ~350 or so. I’m starting to slowly sell the ones I no longer need on eBay since I’m a clutter hound and really need the room more than the boxes at this point. I plant to keep maybe 100 of my favorites, the ones I can’t part with for loving them so much! I will post photos soon!
