All of our lunch boxes for sale are brand new.

The vintage lunch boxes in our permanent collection (on display at our shop and available for movie shoots) have been acquired from various sources over time.

No, not all lunch boxes come with matching thermoses. If a lunch box comes with a matching thermos, the photo will show a thermos next to the lunch box. Furthermore, the description of that lunch box will state "comes with a matching thermos". Some lunch boxes are offered with a plain insulated plastic or metal thermos as an optional ad-in. If so, then you may select whether you want the optional thermos by using the drop-down menu right below the price of the particular lunch box.

Products that say In Stock (below the price) can be ordered and are ready to ship.

Getting a single lunch box before buying a large quantity, to make sure the lunch box will serve your purpose, is a really good idea.

Please go ahead and purchase your sample on our site. Then when you return to make the large purchase of a full casepack or more, we will issue a refund for that one initial lunch box, thereby converting it to a free sample.

We offer a discount when our Plain Metal lunch boxes are purchased in casepack quantities. The casepacks also ship for free within USA.

You may find them in our dedicated section here: Casepacks.
