VARIOUS RELATED THINGS
A crate with distillation glassware and various reference booklets, as found and photographed in the Sonnema (previously Sommema/Plantinga) distillery. Might have been from the Plantinga side of things, or perhaps Sonnema. There were no distinguishing marks.
Small wooden Plantinga crate.

The Plantinga company had a lot of dealings with a hotel called De Gouden Engel (The Golden Angel), Tukseweg 1-3 in Steenwijk. It was built in 1881 and got torn down in October 2008. The manager, Mr Osse, is the person referred to in the below bills and receipts...
Somewhere between 3 September 1940 and June 1947, Plantinga & Zn changed from "NV" (Naamloze Vennootschap, sort of like a "Joint-stock company") to "CV" (Commanditaire Vennootschap, sort of like "limited partnership"). This is reflected in the stationary below.
