Default Found this treasure in my back shed

Actually I knew I had this but didn't realize how much people ask for them. $350 to $699, but for real nice ones unlike mine. It's a Hogan's Heroes lunch box with thermos. Of course like comic books, guns, and everything else condition is everything and mine's dinged up. But the thermos looks great. Pictured with my Model 19-4, of course.

That is really cool! My luck box had submarines on it and the thermos had a photo of the periscope/conning tower.

Nice Mod. 19!

I had one I used to keep my pet Bull Frog Abner in. Dad drilled or holes for him. Had that frog for a couple years. He’d eat crickets, roaches, etc right from my hand. I’m talking about the lunch box. I’d never trust Abner with a gun!

The thermos is the rare item with the lunch box.

Cool gear from the 60's! I had a Bonanza lunchbox myself.
No idea what happened to it.

If so, it's probably still edible.

WOW! You and I must have had the same style lunch box! Mine had US nuclear submarines on it. I don't remember the thermos, but I remember it had a George Washington class SSBN and maybe a Skipjack class sub on it. It was so cool!

I had a Roy Rogers lunch box and a Daniel Boone lunch box. I believe they both rusted pretty bad and got tossed.

Now I like that! I have one with Matt Dillon, sort of. Here's "How the West Was Won". These all have thermoses except the Family Affair one. but the real treasure here is that old ice chest that was my families when I was a kid. We took this everywhere. And that's an original 1977 Star Wars box.

Back in the mid 80's my uncle bought a house and asked me to clean out the basement. Said I could have anything I found. Scored a Beatles lunch box with the original thermos. Sold it for $350, not sure what their worth now.

I have my mom and her brothers lunch boxes they used when they were kids out in my garage. She's 83 years old. Two of them are oval shaped.
