7. Brown paper bag, here, too.

My Father was very frugal, one of those "squeeze the nickel til the buffalo shits" guys.

I am not quite as tight as he was, but only because I have practiced to be more rational about spending.

[debm55]

13. That is fine. I used brown paper bags for a copy of years. I would decorate with crayons. TY nocoincidences.

Please note that the thermos in the picture does NOT match the lunchbox.
The lunch box did not come with a thermos.

[debm55]

[wnylib]

23. I went to a neighborhood grade school. .

We all went home for lunch.

In junior and senior high, we were too old for the cutesy lunch boxes. We carried paper bags or bought lunch at the cafeteria.

27. I had a metal lunch box. Don't remember the logo but i remember the glass thermos.

I dropped it and then glass exploded. No milk that day.

[flor-de-jasmim]

31. I think I had the same one!

It's surprising to me that I can remember that it was metal, but I have absolutely no recollection of the picture. This was in the early to mid-60s.

30. ;-{) Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier

[PufPuf23]

32. Quickdraw McGraw and Huckleberry Hound

that re-purposed into a pot stash when in high school.

Got a Summer job and the stash box was back to being a lunch box that my mother would fill with lunch.

One morning my lunch was in a gray plastic workman's lunchbox plus a new metal Stanley thermos.

My mother had given the Quickdraw McGraw and Huckleberry Hound lunchbox to the neighbor daughter. Told me I was too old to have a child's lunchbox.

here is an image search of the same lunchbox:

33. A simple black and red tartan

Not sure why I selected this design at the age of 6. Perhaps even at that early age, as now, I had no interest in being a walking corporate advertiser.
Now being offered on eBay for $50.

[TexasBushwhacker]

40. I'm was going to say, they're quite collectible

Though many no longer have their Thermos. In mint condition a special one can go for $200 and up.

[MoonlightHillFarm]

34. Roy Rogers and Trigger

[Wolf Frankula]

35. I had a Wagon Train Covered Wagon lunch Box

The sides were the wagon sides.

[Alpeduez21]

36. Brown bag club here, too. We had Fat Albert thermoses for milk

The cups always broke but that’s cause during recess we played catch or a tackling game using the thermoses.

[Aristus]

37. No. My parents either sprang for the school lunch, or sent me to school with a bagged lunch.

I was wildly out of step with the other schoolkids in the 1970's, all of whom had the latest movie/TV series metal lunchboxes. By the time my parents got around to getting me a cheap plastic lunchbox, themed lunchboxes were out of fashion, and all the kids were bringing bagged lunches.

[lucca18]

38. A brown paper bag when I ate my lunch at school.

But, most times I would walk home and have lunch with my mother.
My favorite sandwich was salami with mustard.

[AllaN01Bear]

39. Batman and robin from the 1960 tv series. The bat. Log on one side and a scene

On the other.

[u4ic]

43. A brown paper bag

But most of the time, I ran home so I could watch The Flintstones at noon, then ran back for 1pm.

[Fla Dem]

44. No! We lived just within the one mile distance that you had to go home for lunch.

I think we had an hour to walk home, eat lunch and arrive back at the school. We lived right within the 1 mile rule. 20 Minutes to walk home, 20 minutes to eat lunch and 20 minutes to walk back And no we didn't have a 2nd car so our Mom couldn't drive us. She didn't have a drivers license anyway.
