The Muppet Show premiered in 1976 and spawned a miniature cottage industry for Jim Henson that included movies, a Saturday morning television show, toys and several lunchboxes. King Seeley produced three separate metal lunchboxes with matching plastic thermoses. Each had one side showing a gaggle of Muppets, while the other was devoted to the individual characters of Fozzie Bear, Animal and Kermit the Frog.
