Abstract
A container adapted to either stack or nest with another similarly oriented container of identical construction. The container has a plurality of feet along each side adjacent the bottom. The container side walls each have a lower section and an upper section spaced outwardly from the lower section and joined thereto by a ledge providing nesting saddles directly above the feet. The container also has a plurality of stacking saddles along the upper edge of each side wall likewise postioned directly above the feet. There are inclined ridges in the upper and lower sections of each side wall which guide the container down to a nested position within a lower container of identical construction.
