THE MAN FROM A.U.N.T.I.E.

THE MAN FROM U.N.C. L.E.
1964-1968 NBC

TV series that was part of the secret agent fad of the mid sixties featuring Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Ilya Kuryakin (David McCallum) who worked for the secret agency United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. The acronym part was spoofed in numerous places, most notably on Get Smart.

This was a lunchbox for the show drawn by Mad artist Jack Davis. There might have been art on the Thermos inside but I don't have that.
