Bread boxes?

You all win the bread boxing match!

So! We've switched over to sandwich puns, eh? This thread has brought out the ham in some of us.

Sorry to keep it going. No knuckle sandwiches, please!

I can't compete with you folks on the puns , but here's my breadbox. This is one of the first things I ever bought on ebay, maybe 10 years ago now? I bought it with the back slightly dented but I think it's so cool I don't mind the minor damage.

 

[MrNewportCustom]

That is one beautiful bread box, IOF. I've never seen one like it, before.

[PrettySquareGal]

imoldfashioned, I've never seen one like that! It's a beauty! Do you know what decade it's from?

 

[Diamondback]

No knuckle sandwiches, please!

How 'bout one to the breadbasket for all the punishment you've inflicted on the poor lady?

Ms. IOF, nice piece. Adheres nicely to the KISS design principle, which usually makes the "classic" label more easily-applied...

Wow! A bread cylinder. When I think bread boxes, I generally think, Zzzzzzzz,.......but that there's the shizznick of bread boxes. It's got that streamlined look I like.

 

[PrettySquareGal]

Here it is!

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Cool. It's part of a canister set. Ours (still have) we got with S & H Green Stamps in the 70s and the lettering of BREAD is in groovy lower case. The inside of the door is a cutting board.

 

[LizzieMaine]

...and here's some vintage bread to go with the vintage breadboxes!

As long as it isn't in the face. lol But, before you act, we'll let the lady decide whether or not I deserve any pain.

PSG, very nice bread box! It cleaned up very well. Now we have two beautiful bread boxes here.

Muahaha......

Is there a grain of truth anywhere on this thread? :cheers1:

I think there are multi-grains of truth.

Thanks for the compliments folks! I'm pretty sure my bread box dates to the 1930s. I've never seen one like it either. A neat feature is that each of the feet swivels so you can put it on an uneven surface and it remains stable.

I love yours PSG! And the one that has the cutting board on the inside of the door--what a good idea.

Eh? It's roomy. No fins, though. Maybe I'll paint some fire on it.

Sorry, that was another one of my "pop culture references" that you have to be 40+ to recognize.

I honestly forget sometimes just how long ago the 1960s and 70s were.

Anyhow, way back when, there was a game show on TV (yes, we had TV, but you changed channels with a dial that went "Thunk") called "What's My Line?". Panelists tried to guess the contestant's profession by asking "yes or no" questions. If the contestant manufactured a product, the first question was "Is it bigger than a breadbox?"

I have no idea if any of the contestants actually made breadboxes. lol

Here it is!

That would look cool with a flame job. Maybe a hood ornament on top?

Thanks! I also love that I can apply lipstick in the reflection. lol

Yet you started all of this punny business! lol

Thanks for the pop culture game show info!
