Birds Eye View

The KLM houses were presents to travelers a board KLM flights in Business and Royal Class. They have been presented over a long period and thus have become collector items. There are 93 different types which are numbered 1 - 93.
KLM started issuing these miniature bottles - approx 4 inch high - in 1952. Air companies were not allowed to give presents to their customers because of unfair competition. So, KLM had some Blue Delft houses made, and filled them with genever. Then, of course, their competitors complained "KLM is giving presents to their customers". The KLM said "May we decide how we serve our drinks? Is their a law which tells me drinks have to be served in a glass?"... and so it all started.
So...

These Delft Blue KLM Collector Item houses are in fact bottles with a cork and seal containing 35% alcohol Dutch Genever in the houses - if they haven't been drank yet - and I found these - displayed like a birds eye view on the Amsterdam Canals and houses - for sale at an antique shop.

Cheers, have a nice day!
