So cute!!!  I love these!

I was just in marshall's and they have some of the most cute lunch bags, too if anyone is looking for one.

I vaguely remember having a blue vinyl lunch box with a matching thermos similar to these when I was in fourth grade.

 

That would have been around 1963 for me.

If vinyl lunchboxes are considered vintage, then I must be prehistoric.  There were no vinyl lunchboxes in my youth. We all had metal.

I had the style of photo one, but I had the classic tartan plaid.  I think my thermos broke in the first week of school. Probably 1st or 2nd grade 1967 or 1968.  I loved that lunchbox!  I forgot about that style!  Thanks for the memory @Toots711

@PhilaLady1 I had my share of metal lunchboxes but I do remember having a vinyl one in 1963.  I don't know how old you are....

I still have my Barbie metal lunch box and matching thermos, not sure what happened to my Dr. Kildare one.

I am 67 but I don't remember vinyl lunchboxes.  Now that I think about it, maybe it was that we all wanted the cartoon characters which possibly were only made with metal. The edges always eventually rusted. I vaguely recall a Jetsons lunchbox I may have had.  Have a great day!

Well there were no vinyl lunch boxes to be had in the 1950s. I remember a metal lunchbox with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, ha ha.
