This topic has made me kind of interested in other regional/national school supply items. I remember my Trapper Keeper very fondly and spent quite a bit of time picking mine out when I was a child. I also grew up during the heydey of the metal lunchbox [1] I also went to school in an area and time when there was a large influx of South Korean immigrants and I remember eyeing their incredibly cool pencil cases with quite a bit of jealousy [2]. An incredible marketing opportunity that never seemed to quite make it to the U.S. market. What kind of ubiquitous local market school supplies were popular in other places? 1 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAC-MAN-vintage-metal-lunchbox-/222179820263 https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAC-MAN-vintage-metal-lunchbox-/222... 2 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Students-Multifunction-Stationery-Pencil-Case-Korean-Box-Cool-/163244930362 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Students-Multifunction...
