If you love to collect, and are looking for something to collect that would not take up your whole house, then why not consider collecting lunchboxes?.

If you are old enough to remember the metal lunchboxes from the 50’s and 60’s with the comic of the day theme on them, you will probably be surprised to know that some of these are going for over 200.00 dollars!

This is where you now go digging in your basement, or your parents basement or your granny’s basement, and see if you can find the lunchboxes from years ago.

If you do find them, do NOT use harsh cleaners on them, just clean them with a damp cloth, and hopefully they are in good condition. If its anything like my lunchboxes, we used to use them for target practice, and carrying all our treasures we found on the side of the road. Its amazing they survived that at all!

Lunchboxes are great for collecting, as they usually have a theme or characters for the era on the front of them, they are like a time capsule for TV shows, action hero’s, music groups, and more. These are definitely history, and for that reason, among many others, have become a great item to collect and display, and luckily, will not take up your entire house, (depending on how many you collect of course!).

Lunchboxes are a great investment, and are also a great way to get into the hobby of collecting, as they are not super expensive for the later ones. You can source them out at antique shops, estate sales (this is a good spot), but be ready to rummage through boxes, or you can try online, where you can get them from all over the world.

The internet is a great place to start. This way, you will get to know prices, and whether that Partridge Family lunchbox, is worth top dollar yet. Right now, I have seen the Beatles lunchboxes, going for over 200.00 dollars and climbing.. so, take a look, and get to know your prices, and what lunchboxes would be good to search for.

Once you are educated on the prices of vintage lunchboxes, you will know a good deal when you find one in an estate sale.. have fun, and start collecting.
