If you call it by its correct name "vacuum flask" the principle becomes clear. The flask consists of an inner and outer chamber, the space between the chambers is a vacuum. A vacuum cannot conduct heat, hence no losses between the two chambers.

What is a 1963 bonanza lunch box and thermos worth?

It depends more on the condition of the box, and whether or not it still includes the thermos. I've seen a Bonanza lunchbox in pristine condition (little to no signs of fading/wear/age) with the thermos for over $450.00. And this was a late 60's Bonanza lunchbox...made in the time AFTER Adam left, you know, when the show began to suck. I imagine that a lunchbox made in an earlier time (when the show was better) would go for more, but again, depending on the condition of the box and the condition of it's thermos. I've seen the more used looking ones, fading, rust, scratches, dents, parts of the label rubbed off, thermos missing, etc, sell for much less...In the 40-100$ range. If the thermos is in fine condition, I've seen that ALONE sell for 100$! Crazy, right? lol. All I have is a general idea, I aint' no pawn star lol.

What is the scientific principle of making thermos flask?

thermos flask actually works on the principle of insulator. air is trapped between 2 walls of the flask. air being a bad conductor of heat traps it between the walls. this keeps the material in the flask hot for a longer period.add. Actually, usually there is a vacuum between the two walls of the flask, for this is a better insulator than air. hence the name 'vacuum flask'.
