Star Wars:

I thought it had been thrown out years ago, but it turned out that one of my siblings had taken it as kitschy decoration for her apartment. A couple years ago I found it in a box of stuff when I was helping her move and stole it back.
(Sigh) Really wish I would have kept that damn thing.
This barn lunch box with a silo thermos.
In first grade, I had a Garfield lunch box, which I think is this one. I don’t remember what I had the next couple of years, or if I even had one at all.
Mine was Pigs in Space and boy did I love it.
I can still remember the smell as I opened it, which was a mix of old sandwich and rotten milk from the constantly leaking Thermos.
I can remember two, a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a Play Ball, which had magnets with which you could play a game. I hadn’t thought about the Play Ball box in years, but recognized it immediately. Thanks for bringing back the memories, Idle Thoughts.
I had a Barney lunch box and some mean kids made fun of me for it ):
I bought my lunch. When I did bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it was in a brown paper bag. Too bad I never had a lunch box, if I did and had kept it, I could sell it for big bucks to an antique shop!
The first one I had was Peanuts.
Then I got a Space:1999 lunch box.
I can’t remember my earliest lunch boxes. By the 4th grade I had a black metal lunch box. My biggest problem was constantly breaking the glass thermos. My folks finally bought a metal thermos for me.
Usually had peanut butter and banana sandwiches, chips, and a cookie in my lunch. 
Do did Gene Roddenberry’s son. 
I did a bag and sometimes bought lunch after the submarine lunch box.
Some bastard much larger than I brushed his dandruff off into my bought lunch once.
He is still on my list of “Folks I’d Like to See Hanging from the Main Street Bridge by Their Fingernails”. Put my hell on a finger and say, “I’m thinking of a number between one and five billion.”
Paper sack.
NFL helmets (wasn’t interested in football then, and am not now…thought the team from Baltimore was called the Colts as per my lunchbox until I heard about these “Ravens” playing in the Super Bowl the other day.)
Mom stitched up a cloth lunch bag which ISTR had big orange dot outlined with yellow circles. Too ugly to steal. One day at lunch, one kid asked, “Why do you always eat you lunch on homemade bread?” I could tell, sneer notwithstanding, that he was jealous. (It was Rhodes brand frozen bread dough, baked up every day or two, and it was far better than most of the other crap, even though we let it rise way too much.)
I had the “Skotch Ice Tartan” lunchbox http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-red-plaid-Aladdin-lunch-box-thermos-REDUCED-2-01-23-/190702831508?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c66c64794
Wags and Whiskers We had a basset hound when I was little that looked a bit like the puppy on the lunch box. I’m sure that’s why I picked it.
I had an Atom Ant lunch box, until some jerky kid stole it 
Then I had The Archies, until the thermos broke.
Then it was The Roadrunner. After that I started buying my lunch.
Cool.
Assuming I’m not being whooshed…
When you were a kid, the Baltimore NFL team probably was the Colts; the Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984. The Ravens came into being in 1996, when the Cleveland Browns franchise relocated to Baltimore, but left the Browns name and records behind (to be taken back up by an expansion Browns team a few years later).
As for my lunchboxes:
I had several; the ones I distinctly remember were for the TV shows Emergency!, and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.
Partridge Family, to feed into my David Cassidy obsession. I still have it; for some reason my mother kept that over all my other childhood detritus.
