I remember when my mother took me to the store to buy my first and only Lunch Box, I was so excited. She told me to choose the one I liked best. There were the cartoon and comic book ones but I saw the Ge...ntle Ben one and told my Mom, that's the one I want because it was my favorite TV show at the time and at my age, I thought the show seemed so real.
When I went to school, so proud of my new Gentle Ben Lunch Box, I sat down at the lunch table with my school chums, and to my horror, a very mean kid pointed at me and my new lunch box and shouted "LOOK EVERYBODY, Timmy has a GENTLE BEN Lunch Box, what a big baby". Being a shy kid, I never used the lunch box again. I took it home and there it sat all these years, unused.
I recently found the Gentle Ben TV series at the library and watched every episode. I think it is still a really great show. The child star in the show is Ron Howard's younger brother, Cliff Howard who was and still is a very good actor. Cliff and Ron Howard's father is also in the series that starred Dennis Weaver who I thought was the best. Dennis Weaver also starred in one of Steven Spielberg's first movies, "Duel" 1971. A very suspenseful movie for a 10 year old.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
I hope my special Lunch Box finds a good home and continues to be cared for. Happy bidding!On Feb-14-21 at 17:47:25 PST, seller added the following information:.Please look at all pictures -- scroll to right to see pictures of the Thermos. Thank you!
