Yes, still have it. It's in a showcase with some other family memorabilia.
BTW Randy, that lunch box was Fireball XL-5, the Gerry Anderson space cartoon. Still like new with thermos. I also have my first teddy bear given...
@Wandering Man It's funny how life works. Being at the right place at the right, or era makes a huge difference in any collectible endeavor. I...
