Lunchbox, Roy Rogers & Dale Evans: Chow Wagon, 1955
01
Artifact Overview
The first pictorial lunchboxes, introduced in 1950, featured Hopalong Cassidy. Since then, generations of children have proudly sported pictorial images of their favorite interests on the sides of their school lunchboxes. After appearing on nine box-shaped models, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans's dome-shaped "Chow Wagon" was a popular and refreshing change.
