No, neither book provides that information, except for mentioning that ## 61-75 were all issued in 1994 (to bring the total number up to 75 in KLM's 75th anniversary year), and then one a year starting with #76 .

Dutch Life in Miniature was published in 1995 and thus lists the first 75 houses.

House No. 90
by Bonnie Parren was published in 2009. No prize for guessing how many houses are listed.

Thanks for that . So it seems that apart from the last few years or so, numbers cannot be collated against a particular year of issue as I understand it ?

Meant to add that my one and a half total collections consist of various dates. I was looking to have a really unique collection from 1- 99, each with the correct date of first issue.....seems not possible.

Correct.

Before 1994 houses were produced at random intervals and in random batches. Some years no houses were produced at all.

How about the Euromast?

Or that new bit of het Stedelijk that could pass for a UFO or a bathtub?

The entire Center Parcs Zanvoort resort?

Any of the iconic Bijlmer apartment buildings?

The Sea Palace restaurant in het Oosterdok?

Metrostation Gaasperplas?

The list of eminently suitable candidates is endless!

For collectors... I found something I really like. Though to share it. Perhaps others are interested to.

Thanks, interesting.

They look practical and functional, but anything but esthetically pleasing. Hard, cold and angular may appeal to some, but not to me.

Yeah — with Johan here. Looks like a temporary trade show display.

Ha! Given the comments in reply, I thought this would be a link to human-scale “tiny houses” based on the huisje designs.

Was to lazy to take a decent picture but this is the ugly box. I bought one. Think it is nice on a white wall. Room for 10 more houses.. want to retire then anyway..

(it is very well made by the way)
