Old-Fashioned Metal Lunchbox

Old-Fashioned Metal Lunchbox FARM HOME Food 29-5-30 If you'd like a metal lunchbox that'll virtually last forever, you'll like the ones made by retired farmer Melvin Hershberger, Baltic, Ohio. Made out of powder-coated aluminum with 50 rivets in each bucket, they'll withstand up to 200 lbs. of pressure. "They can also be used as industrial-strength briefcases or to store your stuff like computer disks," he says. A children's size lunchbox is 8 3/4 in. long, 4 3/4 in. wide and 7 1/2 in. high. It sells for $27.95. An adult size is 2 1/8 in. longer and sells for $29.95. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Hershberger Country Store, 50940 Twp.
