                Check out the now so politically incorrect Wing Ding that even ultra compassionate Shari Lewis abandoned him.   And more pics with Styx to come!

Those Huckleberry Hound and Quick Draw McGraw lunch boxes and thermoses are awesome!

Pics are way, way too large
While it's great to see all of the other things members collect, it's not great when members are too lazy to resize the pics posted. If a pic is 2x the size of my 24" screen, it messes up the thread. Many pics have been taken down and many more will be too. Don't be lazy and please resize your pics before posting.

I also have a passion for Toyota Landcruisers.
I currently own this 1990 Japanese Domestic Market HZJ77 right hand drive diesel and 2024 First Edition. Love those 70 series builds! Unfortunately they were never offered new in the U.S. market. Hoping to add an Icon FJ44 or FJ45 in the future.

Some great stuff in this thread.
Like Balticfox, I collect Lunchboxes. Here's a part of my lunchbox collection.

 Are yours all vintage originals or do you have some repros from the last 25-30 years mixed in with your originals?

My LBs are all originals (no repros). At some point space became a consideration, so I've been trying to focus on fewer items in top condition (with exceptions for a few rarer items like the Underdog and Knight in Armor). I really like boxes with the original tags or items with their original boxes when I can find them.

And what's the lunch box with the light yellow rim with the Indians on the upper left corner? Moreover your bottom picture is a bit too big. I actually limit all my pics to 1000 pixels in width.

My "other" collection is one I haven't seen yet in this thread. I collect recordings of old time radio shows. It always surprises me that many people are unaware that before television, radio was like...television. Sitcoms, dramas, variety shows, it had everything. You had big stars like Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Eddie Cantor and others, and you had some great shows of every type - Suspense, Lights Out, Inner Sanctum (radio was REALLY good for horror stories, since you could get away with some astounding levels of violence when you're dealing with audio only).
Even shows that existed in both media show a difference. Gunsmoke started in radio a few years before it started on TV. William Conrad was the original Marshall Dillon. I'm not a fan of Westerns and couldn't care less about the TV Gunsmoke. But the radio version is one of the best continuing dramas I've ever heard. The radio version was also much more adult - Dodge City was violent and unjust (you wouldn't want to live there), and Miss Kitty was clearly meant to be a hooker (although they couldn't say so explicitly). A large portion of radio was not preserved, but a good bit of it has survived and is avidly collected by a few enthusiasts. Recordings can be heard as full computer files or as mp3 recordings. I have a library of over 60,000 shows and could get my hands on more. By the way, I do have a few sports-related recordings - lots of Bill Stern shows, which include interviews and also his very improbable sports tall tales. I also have a handful of complete game broadcasts, including the last game of the 1934 season between the Tigers and the Yankees. As for photos, how about an exhibit card picturing the Lone Ranger and Tonto? Alan Last edited by akleinb611; 01-05-2025 at 03:27 PM.

I find my lunch boxes online. Ebay sometimes but I tend to find a more interesting selection on other sites. Being based in the UK, I'm restricted to online purchases. Saying that, I did buy my first lunchbox at an antiques fair in England. One day, I'd love to get to a toy convention on a trip to the States where I might be able to find lunchboxes. The lunchbox with the yellow trim is called Pathfinder. It was made in 1959 by Universal. The thermos came with a compass on the top but they're almost always missing. I was lucky to find one with the compass intact a few years ago.
