This old Peanuts trunk has rested in my garage for a few years now. I’ve been waiting to open it when I had a good space to look inside and see its contents. The bottom was rusted out when I got it, so bringing it into the house is not a great idea. Instead, I’ll be opening it in my new workshop space and finally seeing what’s inside!
Thanks to Roger for sending this box of wonderful vintage Peanuts memories!

Video Summary
There’s something exciting about opening up an old trunk and discovering what’s been tucked away inside. I brought this rusty trunk into my new Snoopy workshop and finally decided to take a look inside. I had been waiting to open it on camera so I could capture my initial reaction, but I was careful because of the rust on the bottom. The trunk definitely shows its age, including some water damage, but there was a surprise waiting inside that made it worth the effort. After working through a couple of rusty keys and buckles, I finally got it open and found a Snoopy hockey game!
What made this find especially exciting was that the Snoopy hockey game was unused, with all of the original stickers still there and ready to be placed on the character plaques. Even the little hockey puck was included. The game board was in surprisingly good condition, with teams representing Toronto, Detroit, Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Oakland, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Vancouver. The game has a foosball-style setup and a board that looks to be made of Masonite. The box has definitely seen better days, but the game itself is a wonderful survivor. The side of the box identifies Determined Productions and Munro Games, and there’s a 1972 that indicates the year it was made. Thanks to Roger for sending this along as we continue working our way through his Peanuts collection. It’s always nice to find something like this that has managed to stay in such good condition after all these years.
