Since the early 1950's, children's lunch is experiencing a revolution in transport. A technique used to imprint images on metal - - The introduction of lithography has meant that metal boxes lunch for the children with colorful designs of contemporary TV and film characters were decorated.
This trend began in early 1950, when the company took the Aladdin Hopalong Cassidy lunch box on the market. Decorated with a pattern in the Western style of this product was an instant hit with school childrenacross America. Sales Aladdin went through the roof and the company was quick to follow this success with his Tom Corbett Space Cadet box a year later, in 1952 for use.
In the years that all types of products have been released and followed the same hardware has remained remarkably unimaginative, while - is often accompanied by a simple box through a thermos - featuring graphic design has been a major story for the popular culture time.
Sois the power of nostalgia, it's all too easy to look back at the age of gold and see nothing but memories of childhood days of innocence. It should be noted, however, that the story of the Lunch Box has a dark side too! As a collector of these objects are all too aware, many of the fields from the early years will have significant damage in the form of scars suffered by fighting in the schoolyard. It is perhaps not too surprising, since children will be children, after all.But what is rather shocking that the ferocity of the fighting and the prevalence was so strong after all that had begun by early 1970, the parents who urged the state governments, against the metal lunch boxes "evil" to get you! This particular case of the power of the people was the strongest in Florida, and finally, in 1972, local legislators approved a ban by the State to impose. Shortly after this precedent of other U.S. states were followed. However, these events should beseen in the context that many manufacturers had stopped production before this point anyway (1963 for Universal and ADCO in 1956, for example).
Today, metal lunch boxes for children are collectors' items rather than items of daily transport for lunch. Of course, in front of the signs of battle scars games is undoubtedly very important!
If dining alone could speak ...
