SPACE LUNCH BOXES

Surprisingly, there were few lunchboxes adorned with space themes.

1960 Ed McCauley Space Explorer by Alladin

Production of this box was quickly stopped due to the unautorized use of a National Geographic illustration.

I WILL BUY YOUR SPACE MEMORABILIA!


Note: A photo does not necessarily mean I have acquired the item.



I collect tin toys, wind-up rockets and space capsules, board games, and action toys (helmets, badges, watches).
