We collect vintage lunch boxes and needed a guide to use when we are purchasing . This book is just what is needed and has allowed us to recognize a good buy or when a lunchbox is over priced! If you collect lunch boxes you need this book!
This covers collectible metal, vinyl and plastic lunchboxes from all eras, including more modern issues, and includes identification and values with small but sharp color photos to aid in the process. Any enthusiast of lunch box collecting will view this as the 'Bible' of lunch box information, important as a desk reference.
Very nice book, lots of color photos of vintage lunchboxes with values. This book is a few years old but still a very valuable tool and reference guide. I find that the prices on items can vary from flea markets, antique mall, auctions, online auctions, etc. Pretty much depends on the seller and what they have invested in a lunch box and what they feel they need to get out of the item to make a proper profit for their investment. I use price guides just as a general guideline and find they more helpful with all the information they provide. This is a well put together beautiful book and I highly recommend it to the collector and dealer of vintage lunchboxes. Thank you.
My wife and I are new to collecting lunchboxes and we were looking for a guide to help us understand the collectability as well as the grading and comparative value of each item. We found this book to be very helpful as well as the standard by which many of the other collectors grade and value their collections.
