to school. Packed with their favorite lunchtime meals, Donald Duck, Bambi,
Mickey Mouse, and other Disney favorites, made lunchtime fun. The hard tin
lunch boxes had dome tops, which made room for the thermoses that would be
placed inside of the lunchboxes. The lunchboxes had two metal clasps that
kept the top of the lunchbox closed tightly and securely. There was a hard
plastic handle that was fastened to the top of the lunchbox, which made it
