Memories of school cafeterias of 55 years ago or more are a little vague, but a new lunchbox every year or two was a big thing
when we were kids, as it was a strong statement of one's tastes and persona. We recall having Bonanza, The Rifleman, The Wild Wild West, 007, and Supercar at one point or another. Sadly, all were eventually discarded, although mum dast not touch our baseball cards. The only one we own now is of course this 1968-69 number, bought a few years back at a flea market:

That Playball LB is from 1969. The 1968 version has a MLB Logo. I recently sold my copy of it. I still have the magnetic playing pieces and the spinner that came with it. I'm now waiting to get a copy in better condition. Believe it or not, I picked up the Wild Wild West in an antique fair in southern England a few years ago. It's what got me into collecting lunchboxes.

Hi Gary, thanks for the date info -- we've seen both versions, but had never run across anything that told us
which was the 1968 edition and which the '69. The photos in our post are obviously from an eBay auction, just because we were too lazy to photograph our own, but ours is in almost identical condition -- although we're minus the thermos, the magnets, and the all-important spinner. Let us know if you're interested in selling those parts!

Hey Butch
Did we always have to carry two lunch boxes each day?

We just had one apiece, Frank, but we can't speak for you -- were you that hungry?

We can be lonely all by ourselves.

Similarly, we can be confused separately, or have a joke go over all our heads simultaneously...
