The kids next door got new lunch kits every September.  My brothers and I were given their used lunch boxes from the previous year.  We were grateful for their generosity.

Oh, yes.  The best part of every year going back to school was picking out a new metal lunchbox.   I never used the Thermos that came alone with it because we bought our carton of milk at school.  I remember picking Yogi Bear, Bugs Bunny and Friends, but I can't remember the others.. Lunch would be a sandwich and three Oreo cookies in a wax paper thing.

I had a few over the years.  I do remember sometimes bringing a sack lunch, but I defiantly had one with Dale evans  and I had one with Hop a Long, cause he was my hero .  And one year it was this one with Davy Crocket  LolIMG_2681.jpegIMG_2682.jpeg

In elementary School, I had a Family Affair and a Brady Bunch metal lunch box. Most of the time I had a bologna sandwich and a bag of chips. (My mom didn't know too much about healthy eating then...lol) 😂. I can't remember what I took in my thermos but every once in awhile I would have chicken and noodle soup in it as my main lunch item.

I started first grade in 1960 with a Huckleberry Hound lunch box.  I googled my second lunch box, pale blue Corsage, listed as vintage 1964.

This is one lunch box I had and the only one I can really remember.

 

Used to love taking that spray cheese on crackers to school for lunch.
