Vintage Things You Might Find in Your Home That Can Be Sold Off for Thousands of Dollars
Vintage Lunch Boxes
1935 saw the creation of the lunch box as we know it today. At that time, a Wisconsin-based company by the name of Geuder, Paeschke, and Frey obtained a license to use Mickey Mouse’s image as the top of its “Lunch Kit.” The metal container’s top was shut using a tight wire loop that served as a handle.
After that, it became common practice to place all kinds of characters on the side of a lunchbox. Collectors now prize them for their vintage tin construction as well as the figures designed on them. For an authentic vintage lunch box, collectors will spend up to tens of thousands.
