You still have a long way to go to beat my late aunt - my cousin
showed me her collection and it was 2 whole barns worth (yep!) mostly
stored in those 18" x 24" apple boxes. (Each row was stacked some 7'
or so high)

Are those the heavy cardboard boxes with holes in the sides? I grew up
with those boxes -- whenever we needed boxes, my Mom would go talk the
grocery store manager and bring a few of those home.

 
If by 'holes' ;you mean roughly 1" x 3" with rounded ends -
essentially handles where you put your fingers in then yes.
 
(I've been looking on Google Images and not finding them but finding
wooden  boxes with similar hand holes)

Produce boxes would have found them I think.

Closer, but not what we had way back when.

The top here doesn't extend all the way down the lower half of the
box.

And the holes in the sides aren't round.

Apparently, the ones I remember have gone, if not the Way of the Dodo,
then the Way of the Buggy Whip.
