King-Seeley Thermos Co.

"The Muppet Movie" is the most difficult to find and valuable metal lunchbox featuring the Muppets. The front features Kermit playing his banjo on log. The back is Kermit, Piggy, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Floyd, Janice, Robin Animal, Camilla, and others filming "The Magic Store" in the big final "Rainbow Connection" scene, with the Electric Mayhem bus & "Hollywood" sign behind them. Around the sides and corners are Gonzo with balloons and Miss Piggy in a director's chair. The top has a picture of Rowlf, Gonzo, Camilla, Fozzie, Piggy, and Kermit around the camp fire. Bottom of the lunchbox is Kermit and Fozzie looking out of the window of the newly painted Studebaker.

This rare yellow thermos features a nice picture of Kermit playing his banjo over a rainbow.
