KLMハウス (14) - KLM canal houses

Collection of 14 very rare and hard to find KLM canalhouses most are from the first edition from 1952 from the Rynbende distillerie and a few from Bols/henkes distillerie. The numbers are 1-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15 all still in very good condition and closed with brown/black wax. A little History about the KLM canal houses: ===================================== 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.
