I have bought many lunchbox collections over the years from some of the top lunchbox collectors in the USA . Aikins, Vandervate, Ficsor, and Beck. In the lunchbox guide written by Larry Aikins (King of Lunchboxes) you will see in the acknowledgements that three of the four listed above helped with pictures from their collection in putting this guide together. In all I have amassed many 1000's of vintage metal lunchboxes. I have numerous duplicates of rare and common boxes that I will be selling. These will range for C7 to Mint Old Store Stock. I will not grade these I will let the pictures speak for themself and let you decide. I have sold over 1800 lunchboxes on ebay over the last 2 1/2 years and about that many outside of ebay through other types of sales with lots of repeat customers. Please view our feedback ratings and bid with confidence. I will take several pictures to try to show the true condition of the boxes. I will not and do not try to hide anything. Please asked any questions before bidding. I will list in both my store and on Ebay. Please look at both sites as I feel I will list at least almost one of everything before I am finish selling this lot. 1980 Dukes Of Hazzard Lunchbox & Thermos New Old Stock - Unused - Original Hang Tag & Price Sticker Made by Aladdin "Bo,Luke & Daisy " The TV series, The Dukes of Hazzard , followed the adventures of two good old boys , Bo and Luke Duke , living in an unincorporated area of the fictional Hazzard County, Georgia, racing around in their modified 1969 Dodge Charger , The General Lee , evading corrupt Boss Hogg and his inept county sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane . Bo and Luke had been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine - Uncle Jesse usually made the run, but had fallen ill, and on the very occasion that Bo and Luke had taken his place, they were caught. Jesse made a plea bargain to stop brewing moonshine in return for the boys to escape jail and be put on probation. As a result, Bo and Luke were not allowed to carry firearms (instead they used compound bows ) or leave Hazzard County (although the exact details and jurisdiction of their probation terms often varied from episode to episode; Sometimes, for example, it was implied that they would be jailed for merely crossing the county line; Other occasions, it was shown that they may leave Hazzard as long as they were back within a certain time limit).Corrupt politician Boss Hogg, who either ran or had fingers in just about everything in Hazzard County (and whose exact powers, much like the terms of Duke boys' probation, often varied in different episodes) was forever angry with the Dukes, in particular Bo and Luke, for eternally foiling his crooked scams, and was always looking for ways to get them out of the picture so his plots had a chance of succeeding. Many episodes revolved around Boss trying to engage in an illegal scheme with criminal associates. Some of these were get-rich-quick schemes , though many others affected the financial security of the Duke farm, which Boss had long wanted to acquire for nefarious reasons. Other times, Boss hired known criminals from out of town to do his dirty work for him, and often trying to frame Bo and Luke for various crimes such as bank robbery (thus, resulting in probation revocation and allowing Boss easily to acquire the Duke farm). It was up to Bo and Luke to uncover the schemes and foil the criminals.Due to their fundamentally good natures, although Boss Hogg continually tried to frame them, the Dukes always wound up helping him out, albeit begrudgingly: More than once Boss was targeted by former associates who were either seeking revenge or had turned against him after a scheme unraveled in any number of ways: Boss' greedy nature, Rosco's bumbling, the criminals simply outsmarting the two, or their consciences coming to the surface. Sometimes, criminals who were even more crooked and ruthless than Boss came to town. Sheriff Rosco also found himself in trouble more ... read more
