The Original 12" Miner's Lunchbox

About the original

L. May Metal Fabricators was started in Sudbury, Ontario in 1956 by Leo May, an INCO nickel miner who designed an aluminum lunchbox strong enough to sit on after running out of places to rest during shift waits at the underground cage; his CANADA TUFF seal still carries the 1956 date. The Original 12" is a hand-riveted aluminum lunchbox measuring 12" x 4.5" x 7.25" that became standard issue across the mining and construction trades — virtually all of INCO's 20,000 Sudbury workers carried one. The FW24 Supreme collab is the same lunchbox built by L. May in Canada with a debossed Supreme logo, released at 148 USD retail.
