Description from the seller

Two different exemplars of this revolutionary rollable storage system.
The largest variant rolls out to a total length of 147 centimeters. The smaller variant to a length of 107 centimeters
Both are in good condition. And fully complete, with all separators.
Complete with the original instruction manual.

The Rolykit was conceived in 1973 by filmmaker Samuel Meijering. While working on a film script, he was distracted by the clutter on his desk. He began thinking about a solution, and then started drawing. Finally, he himself assembled the cardboard design.
With his former classmate from the film academy, Gied Jaspers, Meijering founded the small company Golden Inventions, which sold the rights of the Rolykit for 1 million guilders to the producer Van der Molen.

The Rolykit can be rolled out in one go, while in all compartments of this storage box the contents simply stay in place. The "secret" of the Rolykit is that when laid out, each storage compartment only becomes accessible once it lies flat on the surface.
When you roll the storage compartments back in, the bottom of one compartment becomes the lid of another compartment.
