No photos down inside. The insert inside must be thick to not be broken.

I remember as a kid, my grandfather and I both had gray plastic thermos brand lunchboxes that included a thermos inside clipped into the lid. I seem to remember that the glass inserts were fairly thin and broke pretty easily, at least for a kid.

Looked like this.

I remember my father using a thermos like the one in the OP
That would have been in the 50's.

I couldn't keep one for a month. Hated them. When someone finally came out with a better mousetrap I was a taker.

Now, if someone would just come out with a better mousetrap.

Man you were in TROUBLE with Mom if you dropped your Glass Lined Thermos out of your Snoopy Lunch pail.

Well for sure you were finished having cold milk or hot soup with your lunch from then on!

I used one of those lunch boxes for a lot of years when I was working. Couldn't afford to go out to lunch like most of my fellow workers, so I ate at my desk.
I kept my lunch box, paring knife and can cozy that would keep a soft drink can cool until lunch time.


I'm pretty sure my wife got rid of the thermos a long time ago. I replaced the handle when the plastic one gave out.

When someone replaced the thin glass with a metal insert I was sold.

I remember reading a story that at a factory , at the end of a worker’s career and they decided to retire, they suspended the lunchbox from the ceiling. A tradition that was still being done. At least at the time of the article. It was a neat picture to see all of the boxes spanning generations hanging.

If I recall correctly, it was a tall ceiling like an industrial building. Not sure if it was on the forum or elsewhere, but I am sure someone here way smarter than me knows something about it
