Vintage Ther-Mo-Pack “Outing Grip” insulated carrier set by Lockwood Products of Chicago, likely dating from the 1940s or 1950s. This clever mid-century picnic accessory was designed to hold standard quart fruit jars and keep food or beverages hot or cold for hours.

Included:

• Two textured metal Ther-Mo-Pack insulated canisters
• Original cardboard Outing Grip carrying box
• Original instruction and advertising pamphlet

The canisters retain their attractive red, silver, and black paper labels reading, “Holds Quart Fruit Jar—Keeps Food or Drink Hot or Cold for Hours—Converts Your Empty Fruit Jar Into a Vacuum Jar.” The illustrated box advertises uses for school, auto trips, picnics, and the beach.

No glass fruit jars are included. The insulating performance has not been tested, so the set is offered primarily as a vintage collectible or display piece.

Vintage condition with age-related scratches, oxidation, discoloration, small dents, and label wear. The original cardboard carrier has creasing, edge wear, tears, and other storage damage. The paper pamphlet is fragile and has tears, folds, and missing areas. Please examine all photos carefully for condition, measurements, and included components.

A fascinating piece of vintage camping, picnic, kitchen, and food-storage history with wonderful original graphics.
