Made of tin, metal or vinyl, these classic lunch boxes where what every kid used in the '60s to carry their lunches to school every day.

If you grew up in the '60s, you probably had one of these lunch boxes. Most of them came with a matching thermos, which was perfect for mom's soup, hot chocolate and even keeping milk cool.

There was just enough room to pack a peanut butter and jam sandwich, some ants on a log and maybe even a brownie, if you were the lucky kid with a mom who baked.

If you've still got your childhood lunch pail, you might want to have it checked out by an appraiser. This Beatles lunch pail from 1966 is worth about $1,600!

Before you go rummaging through your attic, check out the following pictures of popular lunchboxes from the '60s. Maybe you'll spot yours!

One of the things that makes these lunch pails far superior to the ones being sold today is that they never absorbed odors!

Have you ever noticed that no matter how much you wash out your canvas lunch pail, there is still a distinct, musty smell after a while? Well, that never happened with the tin pails we used as kids!

They were lightweight, colorful and could stand a few knocks on the playground. I bet if one got run over by a car, our lunches would have survived un-smooshed!

Some of our favorites came with vinyl coverings too.

Our favorite cartoon characters, musicians and more were featured prominently on the lid of every box.

They came in bright colors, and there were so many to choose from! Did any of your friends have these lunchboxes? What did you pack into yours?
