Vintage Thermos Wide Mouth Vacuum Bottle. Quart Size. No 6402. Measures about 12" in height. Very good condition. Comes with packaging which is in used condition.
This vintage Thermos Wide Mouth Vacuum Bottle, Model No. 6402, is a quintessential piece of mid-century Americana, hailing from an era when road trips and outdoor picnics were at the heart of family weekends. Measuring approximately 12 inches in height with a full quart capacity, this rugged vessel was designed with the worker and adventurer in mind. Its wide-mouth opening was a revolutionary feature at the time, allowing the user to store not just coffee or tea, but chunky soups and hearty stews, keeping them piping hot for hours. The classic tan and red color palette evokes a strong sense of 1960s and 70s nostalgia, making it a standout piece for anyone who appreciates the "Great Outdoors" aesthetic of the mid-20th century.
The bottle itself is in very good condition, retaining its structural integrity and iconic vintage finish. It comes with its original cardboard packaging, which, while showing signs of use and age-related wear, adds immense value for the collector who prizes "in-box" historical items. This piece would look perfectly at home as a prop in a rustic cabin or styled on a farmhouse kitchen shelf alongside other primitive kitchenware. Whether you are a collector of authentic Thermos Brand history or a decorator looking for that perfect touch of retro utility, this vacuum bottle serves as a durable reminder of quality manufacturing from a bygone era. It is a fantastic conversation piece that bridges the gap between functional tool and collectible art.
