Lunch Box
As an "old one" I remember carrying a metal lunch box like this to school and later to work. Inside the top was a metal thermos bottle held in with a wire clip. Later kids had rectangular metal lunch boxes. All metal lunch boxes are now classified as a dangerous weapon and illegal for school kids. I suppose we couldn't take our switch blade knives and whittle now either during recess!
What has everyone's attention?
Hopefully it wasn't a sudden gush of water.
Can anyone explain the device in the lower right, it resembles a modified #10 can, it's before my time.

Go South young man!
The three younger guys could probably do pretty well in the Movies.
The one on the right has the James Dean thing going on, more than a decade before James Dean.
