HitM | Delfts Blauwe KLM-Huisjes


A new contribution by Heleen to the Houses in the Mail project. These houses are actually bottles, and take the name from the KLM (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij) air company.


Since the 1950s, they are presented as a gift for World Bussiness Class passenger. Each miniature depicts a real Dutch building, and they are filled with Dutch gin or genever. Every year on 7 October the birthday of the company is celebrated with the presentation of a new house.

Very nice houses on the postcard and the matching stamp... but difficult to live in!
