Well, we have quantities of short sawn timber packs that could certainly be destined to be nailed together into storage/transport box's

The question of for what goods remains unknown, however the box's would I think have been assembled at a location close to the source of the product

My earliest memory of bulk vegetables being transported and displayed in Vegetable Co-operative, were in robust woven cane baskets.......

Every Australian home garage in the 50's & 60's would have a few wooden Banana box's used as storage containers.....many a task in the garage or garden was with Kids sitting on Banana box's & splinters in your backside

Freash fish from the trawlers was also landed in slightly smaller sized robust woven cane baskets........when displayed at the Fish Co-op on beds of ice behind glass trays??

PS...the woven cane basket below is listed as 60cm x 70cm [2' x 2 1/4'] ...so are about the shape & size from my memory

Hello everybody,
I have just bought an unassembled original kit with German instructions only Does any kind soul have an English copy of the kit paperwork and be willing to share it with me?
Kind regards to all,
Ian

Any idea what those boxes are for? Fish maybe or fruit/veggy?

Yes Walter....maybe my 3" is a little oversize , and maybe they made box's from thick timber

I think box timber [or the like] is the correct answer

I'll take a guess & say the wood pile of pieces is the boiler fuel?
