Bolletje B.V., formerly a Dutch family business that produced a variety of bread substitutes and pastry products, has a rich history. The story began in 1867 when Gerardus Johannes ter Beek opened a bakery in Almelo. His son Albert continued the tradition and specialized in biscuit production. In the 1920s, Albert even started delivering biscuits with his bicycle. After World War II, the five Ter Beek brothers joined forces and established an industrial bakery. It was during this period that the brand name "Bolletje" was coined, leading it to become the country's largest biscuit producer.

These tin biscuit tins represent a piece of Bolletje's history and are a valuable addition to your collection. Act quickly, as this unique set will soon welcome a new owner.
