Bolletje B.V., once a Dutch family-owned company producing various bread substitutes and pastry products, has a rich history. It all began in 1867 when Gerardus Johannes ter Beek opened a bakery in Almelo. His son Albert continued the business and focused on baking rusks. In the 1920s, he started delivering the rusks around on his bicycle. After World War II, the five brothers of the Ter Beek family established an industrial bakery and came up with the brand name "Bolletje," which propelled them to become the country's largest rusk producer.

These rusk tins are a piece of Bolletje's history and a valuable addition to your collection. Act swiftly, as this unique set will soon find a new owner.
