I'd never seen this Secret Agent lunch box before when it was auctioned last month on the Bay. I saved the images for the blog. The effective artwork is just great, especially the dark blue rocket with the red sky background.
By King-Seeley this thermos set is dated 1968 from the very heart of the spy craze. I suppose spies had to eat lunch as well so why not a tin snap box and a thermos flask!
The combination of spies and rockets is interesting. Two storylines spring to mind, a Star Trek episode episode about espionage around the Saturn V I think and a comic story involving an agent called Gary Seven, maybe TV21. Ring any bells?
Anyways, these spies are getting far too hot around this flask so here are the pictures.
Did you have a thermos and lunch box as a kid? Got any now?
