Description from the seller
A very fine collection of 5 KLM canal houses, series 1, made by LUCAS BOLS from the early 2000s to 2020 period, in excellent condition, with no damage or missing fragments or small parts.
Each canal house weighs between 155 and 180 grams.
The volume of each canal house is approximately 10–12 cl.
We ship worldwide; each item will be carefully packed to prevent damage.
The total weight, including sturdy packaging, will be approximately 5-6 kilograms, and I will ship it via the PostNL service.
Numbers: 100-102-104-105-106
A Little History:
KLM started issuing these miniature bottles in 1952. Due to unfair competition, airlines were not allowed to give gifts to their customers. So KLM had a few Delft houses made and filled them with gin. Naturally, their competitors complained: "KLM gives gifts to their customers." KLM said: "Are we allowed to decide how we serve our drinks? Is there a law that tells me drinks must be served in a glass?"... and that is how it all began!
