Hehe. If it was good enough for our dads....
They ate coffee beans.

They ate coffee beans.
Took away the taste of the two packs of cigarettes they had before lunch.
Took away/ enhanced...same difference.
Weird watching movies from the 60's, 70's and 80's. People smoked constantly. Everywhere.
Cool, so within 5 degrees of the vintage one. That's fine over that time period. Glad you got a good one. I think the problem with the Chinese ones is not that they CANT be good, but the QC is patchy, so it makes it a bit of a lottery. Like a lot of Chinese shaving stuff. The factory get paid based on the number of units that go out, not the number returned. But at least they seem to back their warranty, so if you were unlucky you could swap it.OK, hopefully you won't blast me for scientific method because I pulled the experiment a few minutes early.
room temperature 21C
time 12:25, 5 minutes early on the Stanley, 15 early on the no-name.
Stanley 1L 65C - too hot to drink
no-name 1L 68C - pulled at the same time. I doubt the 15 minutes made that much difference.
Observations: the cup and neck was warm to the touch at the 12 hour mark on the Stanley, the cup on the no-name covers the neck, but was also warm in a similar manner. The body of both thermoses were cool to the touch.
At 24 hour the cup and neck was cool, but perceptibly warmer than the body of the thermos, they were about the same for both.
The no-name, made in China thermos is about 3 years old, the Stanley 1L is about 3 months old, purchased at Walmart. It is also Made in China. I conclude that the 1L Stanley stainless thermos bottle made in China is a worthy thermos. The no-name 1L bottle with similar dimensions is also a worthy thermos. The cup is an important part of the insulation system.

edit: I don't know why the room temperature is reading 19C in the photo.
edit 2: interesting. The no-name holds 3 cups 6 oz, the Stanley holds 4 cups 6 oz. Sorry, no big metric measuring cups here.
I have one of these as well, they are great, I can fill it with hot coffee and it will still be warm (not hot) and drinkable 24hrs. later, I never owned a Nissan thermos but they are great quality also but more expensive, If you want the best bang for the buck the Stanley is probably the best bet.I have a vintage one like this. It's the business.
I bet you could find them on US ebay pretty easily.
Nissank, so i broke down and got a vintage stanley. (so did several others... He he he)... Blasted legion and his enablization skills.
I need a mug now. A spill proof mug. So many today are clicky click like, i'm afraid that'll wear out. Or will it? What's a good one?
Great. Thermos AD is about to start! The price of the Vintage ones on eBay is nuts, but my dad used to have one from the early 90s that lasted until a year or so ago. Kept coffee hot through all day deer hunts; I know these work and I want one!
Ebay. Here's the completed auction, how'd I do?

Craig, you have a bottle made in May of 1966. It was the transition bottle from the old cork stoppered Stanley of 1913-1964 to the screw in plastic stopper brought to market in 1967. It has the cup used in the later models. That should be an awesome thermos! Built like a brick outhouse! The best of both worlds! If you ever lose the stopper, you can use a No. 18 cork and not skip a beat.
Odd that I just saw this thread tonight, I just bought an Uno Vac stainless steel thermos at an antique store today. Just gave it a good scrubbing and plan to test it out tomorrow.
