Novelty Metal Lunchbox Appraisal

Boss Lady 'Come Git It' Metal Lunchbox

This is a vintage-style metal lunchbox, rectangular in shape with rounded corners, featuring a 'Boss Lady' theme. The primary colors are a cream or off-white background with a reddish-orange border and light wood-grain effect on the perimeter of the lid. The central illustration depicts a stylized female figure, possibly a 'cowgirl' or 'boss lady,' dressed in western attire, including a hat, vest, and boots, lounging on what appears to be a rustic wooden fence or gate. A lasso is visible near her. Behind her, a sign hangs that says 'COME GIT IT,' and below her, the text 'PULL'EM IN' is visible. The words 'Boss Lady' are written in a decorative script font on the right side of the illustration, while 'LUNCHBOX' is printed vertically on the left side. The border of the lid is adorned with intricate red and white floral and scrollwork patterns, enhancing its retro aesthetic. The handle, partially visible on the right side, is a vibrant red, contrasting with the main color scheme. The materials appear to be tin or another light metal, indicative of traditional lunchbox construction. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or patina from the visible angle, suggesting good preservation or relatively new condition. The overall design evokes a mid-20th-century "pin-up" or western art style, likely intended as a nostalgic or novelty item, rather than a genuine vintage piece from that era. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced collectible tinware.
