Metal Lunchboxes

Who would have thought that the old, smelly metal lunchbox that you used to carry your soup and sandwich to school could be worth a small fortune today? Well, those small hinged boxes with characters embossed and painted on the side can be worth anywhere from $20 to $2,000 and higher if they're one of the most rare, complete with thermal insulated bottle. The price of lunchbox collectibles "depends on popularity and depends on availability," according to dealer Lawrence Jordan. As a fun, nostalgic collectibles, these are sure to be popular for a long time to come.
