Madrid Antiques

On the Grid : Burbank Antiques

"Ralph Persinger, aka "Mr. Lunchbox", boasts a collection of nearly 3,000 vintage metal lunch boxes from the 50's all the way up through the 90's, many original non-reproduction designs. Together with his wife Kim, they opened Burbank Antiques, which is more like an homage to the last half of the 20th century. Everything from Schwinn service tags to that clear plastic phone popular in the early 90's. You'll also find more vintage vinyl here than most nearby record stores, in addition to vintage advertising from the Mad Men era. Walk out of this place with that truly awesome Clash of the Titans lunch box you never knew you needed." - Jennifer Beatty
