7. Brown paper bag, here, too.

My Father was very frugal, one of those "squeeze the nickel til the buffalo shits" guys.

I am not quite as tight as he was, but only because I have practiced to be more rational about spending.

13. That is fine. I used brown paper bags for a copy of years. I would decorate with crayons. TY nocoincidences.

27. I had a metal lunch box. Don't remember the logo but i remember the glass thermos.

I dropped it and then glass exploded. No milk that day.

[flor-de-jasmim]

31. I think I had the same one!

It's surprising to me that I can remember that it was metal, but I have absolutely no recollection of the picture. This was in the early to mid-60s.

32. Quickdraw McGraw and Huckleberry Hound

that re-purposed into a pot stash when in high school.

Got a Summer job and the stash box was back to being a lunch box that my mother would fill with lunch.

One morning my lunch was in a gray plastic workman's lunchbox plus a new metal Stanley thermos.

My mother had given the Quickdraw McGraw and Huckleberry Hound lunchbox to the neighbor daughter. Told me I was too old to have a child's lunchbox.

here is an image search of the same lunchbox:

33. A simple black and red tartan

Not sure why I selected this design at the age of 6. Perhaps even at that early age, as now, I had no interest in being a walking corporate advertiser.
Now being offered on eBay for $50.
