1940s Dutch Green Enamel Lunch Box with Decorative Metal Latch

A rare utilitarian enamel lunch box from the 1940s, featuring a deep green exterior and a white enamel interior.

The box includes its original decorative metal latch and hinge system, typical of Dutch enamelware produced for factory and school use during the mid‑20th century. The enamel finish is smooth and glossy, with rounded corners and a classic industrial form. This piece displays beautifully in a vintage kitchen setting or enamelware collection.
