Well, in  the earliest days of mass delivery of milk to grocery stores,
metal crates  (made of a sort of very heavy wire) were used...and they,

I recall reading that Jim Walsh* kept his cylinders in such a milk  crate.

Hobbies magazine for several decades.  I drive by his former house in  Vinton, 
VA, at least once a week.  I never met him, however, as he had died  a few 
years before we moved to nearby Roanoke.
