In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines — and on this lunch box, too.
This 1997 Schylling metal lunch box features Ludwig Bemelmans' beloved Madeline, the irrepressible red-haired girl at her Paris boarding school, with illustrations from her adventures across all sides. Made in China for Schylling of Ipswich, Massachusetts — a company known since 1975 for classic-style, nostalgic toys and licensed collectibles. The box shows honest wear: scratches, scuffs, some corrosion, no thermos. Everything is photographed for you.
A nostalgic collector's piece for the Madeline devotee, the children's book enthusiast, or anyone who grew up knowing all the girls in two straight lines.
