Lunchboxes from Denmark - any ideas?

[Clinton Findlay]

A friend is looking for pictures or a description of Danish lunchboxes.

He saw them when he was living in Denmark as a child in the late 70's.

They were a wooden box box that opened at the end (or possibly both ends), and had a series of trays that slid out of the box. They were used to store and serve the open sandwiches that the Danes usually have.

A few google searches have not turned up anything.

If anyone could assist we'd both greatly appreciate it.

I love a challenge in finding something on the web. I found that the Danish word for lunch box appears to be "madkasse" and I think the plural is "madkasser". Doing a search on those terms I found some things which look like what your friend described.

Of course the text is all in Danish, so best of luck with reading about them.

Here's one site which actually seems to have what you may be looking for. http://www.sloejd-kbh.dk/tema/madkas...0madkasser.htm
