DC Super Friends Vintage Metal Lunchbox with Thermos & Unformed Back Panel (Aladdin, 1976). This colorful 1976 Super Friends metal lunchbox from Aladdin captures the bold energy of Saturday morning superhero lineups, featuring full-panel artwork of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and Robin on the front, with Flash, Batgirl, and Green Arrow featured on the reverse. The bright comic-style graphics, saturated colors, and durable metal construction made this one of the most recognizable superhero lunchboxes of the era.
The included thermos appears unused, with strong colors and clean surfaces. The lunchbox itself shows heavy surface wear, with significant scuffing and scratching across all panels and visible oxidation to exposed metal, particularly along the edges and base. The lid and latch no longer close flush, likely due to subtle warping or interior hinge fatigue. The interior shows rust spots and handling wear, but the graphics remain legible, including the "Safety First" panel from the National Safety Council.
Also included is an extra, unstamped, unformed rear panel, matching the box in color and paint style. This separate piece was likely part of Aladdin's production process and adds a unique manufacturing curiosity to the lot. A true vintage piece of DC Comics lunchroom history, this well-loved survivor still packs visual punch with its dynamic character art and nostalgia-rich charm. Perfect for collectors of superhero memorabilia, lunchbox history, or those drawn to the classic age of the Super Friends.
