Miner’s lunchboxes came to market during the mid-century because mine workers and other laborers needed a lunchbox that was lightweight, practical, and virtually indestructible. The lunchbox had to be affordable, befitting of a miner’s budget, but also sturdy enough to hold a person’s weight, should he need a place to sit while eating his lunch.
