Vintage CHUCK WAGON Lunchbox & Thermos - Western Frontier (1958) C-8.5+ Amazing!

Description

Item Description:
CHUCK WAGON DOME LUNCHBOX AND THERMOS from Aladdin Industries 1958.
This very rare R-7 dome was the second suck designs by the industrial designer genius of
Bob Burton
, following his first dome masterpiece for Aladdin
Buccaneer
.
He was also the creator of the first fully lithographed
Hoppy
box for Aladdin in 1954.
Anyway, enough about Bob, this is one of my all-time favorite domes with a covered wagon being defended from an Indian attack where you can see “all the way through” and both sides.
The bottom features a beautiful scene of the wagons being rounded up at the end of a hard day's ride.  The thermos features a little fun around the fire that evening.
A classic Americana western design from the man who created the Kentucky Fried Chicken logo.
Nicely done Bob!
A truly wonderful example of this key western lunchkit!
