1950s Lunchbox
Q: When I was in grade school during the 1950s, I carried my lunch in an Annie Oakley and Tag lunchbox. I still have it and the original thermos. I read in your column recently that older lunchboxes have become quite valuable. Is mine? -- Ken, Ramona, Calif. A: According to the 19th edition of “Toys & Prices” by Mark Bellomo and published by Krause Books, your lunchbox and thermos were issued in 1955 by Aladdin. The box is valued at $695, the bottle $150. ••• Q: My dad and I have always been interested in both the summer and winter Olympic Games. We have managed to build quite a collection of pins, posters, badges, decals and stickers. Is there someone to contact about the items we have? -- Rob, Titusville, Fla. A: Craig R. Perlow is the owner of Olympian Artifacts, a business that specializes in autographs, badges, posters, medals and programs relating to the Olympics. His addresses are P.O. Box 92331, Norcross, GA 30010-3311; and www.olympianartifacts. com.
