    Description

    Thermos Condition:
    Up for sale is my original 1962 Ludwig Von Drake metal thermos (no lunch box) produced by Aladdin Industries and from my own personal collection. I'm currently in the process of liquidating a portion of my personal collection and am asking .99 or best offer plus shipping for this great thermos. This thermos (along with my several other listings) will be carefully packaged and shipped via Priority Mail to ensure a speedy and safe delivery. This thermos is in overall nice shape as the graphics have only some minor and isolated blemishing and rust spots throughout as shown in the photos provided. Aside from other minimal blemishing found throughout the graphics, there are two isolated rust spots found on the graphics located in between the butterfly and Alligator and to the top left of the thermos near the word, "Ludwig" in the Thermos title. There are also a couple of rust spots on the the bottom outer rim of the thermos, but this is a lot less noticeable in comparison to the graphics. In addition to some minor blemishing found throughout, there is some light paint chipping found in the crease of the thermos where the graphics meet and merge together as the left side of the crease has some minor paint chipping throughout. As far as denting goes on the graphics, there appears to be only one dent found to the upper right hand side of the butterfly net/directly above the Hippopotamus' nose. This dent is not noticeable while the thermos is on display and can only be observed when the dent is put under direct light (as the light reflects off the dent, making it observable). The dent can be felt with your fingers for easier detection, but once again this dent is rather small and not easily observed when looking at the thermos. The bottom of the thermos has lost almost all of its shine and reflectance as the Aladdin logo and words has been worn down over the years. There is also some light speckled rusting found on the bottom of the thermos as shown in the photos. The top silver metal portion of the thermos is in good shape with minor scattered blemishing found throughout the material, but nothing major to note as it's still shiny and reflectant. There are a couple of minor knicks found in the metal material but has no major denting to note, it's been kept in pretty good shape over the years. The inside of the thermos appears to be in pretty good shape but there is some remaining residue and possible rusting spots on the very bottom of the inside glass. All other portions of the glass appears to be clean and in great shape, it's just that the very bottom has apparent blemishing (the glass also appears to be completely in-tact). The inside bottom of the thermos could possibly be cleaned out to improve its condition, but I have never attempted to do so (I'll leave that decision up to the next owner). I would also like to note that the thermos does rattle heavily when shaken, meaning that there is probably a lot of rust within the actual thermos itself. I have not opened up the thermos to verify this, but it's a pretty safe assumption. This thermos also comes with the original stopper but is missing the cap as shown in the photos provided. The stopper is in near perfect condition with barely any blemishing to note except for a few minor knicks in the plastic material, but certainly nothing major to note as it's in great shape.
    Summary/Conclusion:
    This is a great thermos that would fit perfectly in anyone's collection as it's in good shape and the graphics themselves have retained most of its paint and displays great, I think the photos really speak for themselves! This thermos would be a great addition to anyone's collection, for both Disney and lunchbox/thermos enthusiast alike. This thermos has been in my personal collection for nearly 6 years and is listed at a good price, get it while you can! If you have any questions about this listing or would like additional photos of this thermos, please do not hesitate to ask and I will get back with you as soon as possible.  Don't hesitate to send an offer if you're interested, and check out the other awesome items I will be listing for sale within the next few weeks (lots of great lunch boxes and thermoses for sale soon!). Thanks for looking, enjoy
