Brilliant Collapsible Crate in Old Red Paint drawings of 1880s estates A beautiful antique Makah/Nootka NorthwestI love this thing and as I am often loading up the car with fragile things, it strikes me as an especially handy one, too, folding up flat and so taking up no space when not needed. Plus this terrific old dark red paint, which makes it feel a bit like a red brick wall when collapsed! Terrific patina, very sturdy, easy to open and then to collapse. A good one for housing a huge stash of wooden blocks, or some firewood, or the laundry! Nice. 14 1 16" l
