Up for auction is a restored* 1980 The Empire Strikes Back lunchbox, manufactured by King Seely.
Quality vintage lunchboxes are among the most coveted collectibles, as they were made to be knocked around and generally mistreated by children. Therefore, often few mint or near-mint vintage examples remain, making them out of reach to the average collector. When I began collecting, I soon realized that the average vintage lunchbox enthusiast has to resign themselves to overpriced, beat-up boxes.
For years, I’ve sought out quality boxes in need of TLC** and meticulously restored them to the best condition possible. I’ve collected and restored hundreds of boxes, all the time being told by admirers who marveled at their near-new condition that I should be selling them to the public. And frankly, I’ve just run out of room. So, for a fraction of the price, you could win and proudly display this authentic, clean example. My loss of space is your gain.*Vintage tin lithography restoration varies box by box and may include the following:dirt and build-up: thoroughly cleaned and treated surfacespaint scratches or wear: finely-applied meticulous color matchingdings and dents: carefully reshaped, with limited filler utilized where necessaryrust: neutralized, spot removed and primed before color-matchinglong-term protection: clear-coated in either gloss (e.g. Thermos) or satin (e.g. Aladdin)broken handle or hardware: replacement or repair
