Dukes Of Hazzard Lunchbox Appraisal

The Dukes of Hazzard 1980 Vintage Metal Lunchbox

This is a vintage metal lunchbox featuring 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' likely dating back to 1980 as indicated by the copyright 'TM &  Warner Bros. Inc. 1980.' The lunchbox is predominantly red, with a painted blue, yellow, and orange graphic on the front face depicting three main characters from the television series: Daisy Duke (left, with long brown hair), Bo Duke (center, with curly brown hair), and Luke Duke (right, with blonde hair). In front of the characters is an illustration of the iconic orange 1969 Dodge Charger, 'The General Lee,' complete with its '01' racing number on the door and the Confederate battle flag on its roof, though the flag is only partially visible. The overall construction appears to be tin or another lightweight metal, typical of lunchboxes from this era. The top edge of the lunchbox shows some wear, particularly around the corners, indicating rubbing and minor paint loss. There is a faint scratch or scuff running horizontally across the blue sky area above the car and below the 'THE DUKES OF HAZZARD' title. The metal latch mechanism at the top, used to close the lunchbox, is still present and appears functional. The handle, also metal, is visible at the top. The condition suggests regular use but is generally well-preserved for its age, with vibrant colors on the graphic despite the minor surface imperfections. This collectible item reflects a popular culture phenomenon from the late 1970s and early 1980s.
