Description

A fantastic piece of Canadian retail and industrial history — an original folding wooden shipping crate from Eaton’s Provision Department, Vancouver.

These collapsible crates were used by the legendary T. Eaton Company department stores to transport provisions and goods between warehouses and stores. Designed for efficiency, the crate folds flat when empty and locks upright when in use — an early example of practical industrial design.
