The image shows a vintage 2001 Walt Disney's Cinderella lunchbox with a matching thermos, still sealed in plastic. Based on similar products, the lunchbox is likely made of tin or aluminum, with the thermos likely having a plastic exterior and a glass or stainless steel interior. The dimensions of the lunchbox are approximately 8 inches in length, 7 inches in height, and 4 inches in width. The thermos is around 7 inches tall with a 3-inch diameter. These measurements are typical for vintage lunchboxes and thermoses of this style.
Hi Justin,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Hallmark produced a series of School Days lunchboxes in the 1980s and 1990s, which were designed as collectible lunchboxes for children and adults alike. These lunchboxes featured nostalgic themes, often with bright, colorful designs inspired by school life and popular characters.
As the box indicates, this limited edition lunchbox and thermos was designed by Rich LaPierre, one of just 19,500 made, and retailed for about $14 at the time. Now, these, in their original factory packaging, can fetch prices ranging from $30-50, though original circa 1980s/90s lunchboxes are more valuable if you can find them.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
