Cool Steampunk Lunchbox for the Scientist on the Move


When you have to leave the lab, make sure you have somewhere to put your sandwiches.

Whether piloting a dirigible or battling mechanical serpents, being a man - or lady - of science will often take you to the strangest of places, so it often behoves one to take a packed lunch. Sadly, common luncheon vessels are often much too pedestrian for a true scientist to be seen with.

Thankfully, the constant search for an appropriate place to put the cucumber sandwiches and raspberry tarts is over, for one lucky soul at least, with this custom-made steampunk lunchbox. According to its creators [http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41507249&ref=cat2_gallery_14], the box "is simply ready for any adventure," although in their eyes is should be used for tools, not snacks.

Either way, the box seems fairly elaborate in its design, and sort of looks like it should be powering something, like an Etherite Evaporator or a Tesla Armature. Personally, I'm just pleased to have somewhere to put my lunch.

my first thought was that it looks like a time machine!

And how much would that bad boy set you back?

 

[Space Cowgirl]

That's freaking sweet! I just wonder how much it would set me back to get one.

That looks absolutely hideous. So much is intended for aesthetics but the result just looks far to "busy".

 

[JRCB]

It even has a lock on it! I want it.

Yep, total agreement. Steampunk is about elegance, not "how many gears can I stick on this thing." Looks like the paint job was done with an eraser. And are those rivets or a Bedazzler run amok?

That looks like the lunchbox a Big Daddy in Rapture should be carrying around. It looks so freaking awesome! Where do I buy it and how much?

 

[Zac_Dai]

Looks fucking terrible.

Steampunk is cool but its not about how much shit you can cover something in.

 

[Lunepyre]

They sold out today dammit X3 And $40.

 

[Sepiida]

It's certainly not bad, but it is over elaborate and somewhat cheap looking. Still, A for effort.

It actually sends your lunch back in time. But you can't forget to pack lunch after you've eaten. Usually, if you forget to pack lunch, all that happens is that you go hungry, or need to bum it off a friend, but if you forget to pack lunch you've already written, you pretty much endanger the entire causality of the universe.

Yeah, I pretty much ripped that off from Terry Pratchett. But it just felt fitting.

It keeps your lunch perpetually suspended in moist and delicious freshness!

For some reason you made me think of Schrödinger's cat. And it made me laugh.
