A West German Folding Military Case from 1965
The Zarges Bread Box
Designed by German manufacturer Zarges around 1965, this aluminum case might not look like much. But it's got a special trick.
The case was designed for the Bundeswehr (the West German army) to transport field rations, earning it the nickname "The Bread Box." After the rations were consumed, the case could be broken down—quickly, and tool-free—to just 1/6th of its assembled height.
Here's the assembly/disassembly process:
While Zarges still exists today and still makes aluminum cases, sadly they no longer produce this collapsible model.
