Lunch boxes or lunch pails have been around since the 19th century and are usually made of plastic or metal. Collectors usually look for lunch boxes from the 1930’s – 1970’s in good condition. Some of the most popular children’s lunch boxes are those with well known characters from movies, television and cartoons. Early tobacco advertising lunch boxes are also quite popular.
