I found that my camera mostly wanted to shoot two genres of boxes. First, ones that showed television shows I watched:
My favorite show in about third grade.
Remember that creepy Mrs. Beardsley doll?
I can't get over how inappropriate the typeface choice is on this lunchbox. It's a classic example of how historical shows can't help but try to seem current instead of historical.
Second, lunchboxes that were intended for girls:
A few others caught my eye:
From the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. I remember these Cartoon Modern figures from something, but I'm not sure it was a lunchbox.
I probably like this Dick Tracy lunchbox best of all. What a vision of the future!
I remember the Mrs. Beasley doll from Family Affair. My daughter got one for Christmas back in the 60's. They also produced a reproduction of Mrs. Beasley back in the late 90's (as I remember). I always thought they were really cute, but they had a soft body that soiled easily and the plastic glasses broke. I suppose that's what made the reproductions possible.
ReplyDeleteWhy are Dick and his friend in trashcans? And using crutches in there... dangerous future.
