Back in the day, attention to detail and craft were much more important than they are now, at least for a lot of the things in our lives.
Tin lunch boxes with beautiful designs used to be the standard. Each person would be able to pick out a lunch box with their favorite TV character or cartoon plastered on the face of it, and they'd carry it with pride. The artistry and construction were incredible, which is why so many folks collect the antique items today!
Looking back at vintage items can be so fun, and filling our houses and apartments with them can take us on a trip down memory lane, like with these vintage dinette sets.
The 12 vintage lunch boxes below will give you the same feeling. They're all so adorable that it's hard not to reminisce about your childhood when you look at them.
But which is your favorite? Did you have a lunch box you remember taking to school every day? Let us know in the comments, and please SHARE with your family and friends on Facebook!

If this extraterrestrial lunch box doesn't take you back, I don't know what will. It's too cute!

If only folks knew what the year 1999 would really be like back in 1976 when this lunchbox was released.

Do you think that this pup brings his treats to doggy day care in this vintage Peanuts lunchbox? I hope so, because that would be downright adorable.

This lunch box from Bettie Couture is basically the 1970s in a little tin box, don't you agree?
