Very cool Zeppelin lunch box or some other kind of carrying case?

[J.LeBrasseur]

A forum member saw this in the background of one of my helmet pictures and ask for more pictures.

It is a lightweight metal, most likely tin. shape of Zeppelin with carrying strap, compartment open up for storage, about 18 inches long or so. Has Graphic on front and small signature on back.

Not sure what it was for, but it is cool so I bought it years ago.

Very nice! It’s from the Bing company in Nürnberg!

They made beautiful tin toys and steel helmets.

Thanks James that is awesome I've never seen another like it, he certainly would have been the coolest kid in the lunchroom sporting that.

I love the Zeppelin items they remind me of sommer vacations on the Bodensee where you can always see an Airship flying around.

Very nice little Museum in Meersburg and a huge one in Friedrichshafen if anyone is ever in the area both are worth a visit.

That is a very cool piece of history. I've never seen one like it, but if I did, I'd certainly buy it if the price was reasonable.
