WHAT'S IN YOUR LUNCH BOX

I mean the one you had when you were a kid. What's in it for you? What's it worth to you today? What about the lunch box that grandma reached into years ago and pulled out a cookie to share with grandpa back when they were just sweethearts in school? Maybe your lunch box fever is all about reuniting with that lunch box you spent so much of your free time with or maybe it is just getting your hands on that Star Wars lunch box you so desperately wanted... you know the one the older kids carted around while you carried your Care Bear Sunshine Bear under your armpit. What constitutes the worth of a lunch box is really just that... more than being old or the availability of the lunch box it is the desire for the lunch box or maybe just the craze of the times. Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, GI Joe, The Lone Ranger, Daffy Duck, Popeye and even the Dukes of Hazzard have lunchbox hounds out on the prowl. Remember the vinyl Barbie lunch pails of the sixties? Oh, if only you could smell that vinyl on a hot summer school day one more time. Metal and vinyl boxes tend to bring in higher prices than the newer plastic ones. What about that Roy Rogers wasn't that a great era and how simple it is to display a giant bit of the past in a neat little box. lunch boxes selling prices depend on condition as well as the desire. Does it have the matching thermos intact? Some lunch boxes have auctioned for as high as eight hundred dollars!! The Beatles lunch boxes were the rage in the sixties and sold by the thousands. Now, if you are lucky to find one in mint condition, you better plan to pay big bucks for your a find! Yogi Bear would have had a fit if he could see what his lunch boxes bring in today. lunch boxing is fun and easy and when you spy on ebay that special lunch box, the one that rekindles old forgotten memories, there is noting like it... except maybe to find on ebay the taste of that perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich your mom used to pack in them.
