Thermos L.L.C. Donates Historic Collection to Smithsonian; Museum to Display 120 Lunchboxes from 1880s to 1980s U.S. Newswire
Who doesn't remember the favorite lunch box they carried to school or the red and black plaid vacuum bottle that men carried to work? During the last century, the metal lunch box and vacuum bottle have been more than containers for food and beverages - they have been records of Americans' experiences. Lunch boxes and their bottles are fascinating storytellers, where family and school merge with American popular culture.
Thermos L.L.C., now in its 100th year, is donating historic lunch boxes and vacuum bottles to the permanent collections at the National Museum of American History. An accompanying display, 'Taking America to Lunch,' will take a lighthearted retrospective look at historic school and workplace lunch kits and vacuum bottles by different manufacturers dating from the 1880s to the 1980s. Opens on April 13.------------------------------------------- posted 8:42 AM :: reference link ::
