= The oldest woodsaw windmill in the world De Otter was built in 1631 in commission of the Houtzaagmolen Compagnie and was originally part of group of 12 woodsaw mills on the Kostverloren vaart in Amsterdam. Windmill De Otter was bought by Gerrit van der Bijl in 1817. He later also bought the mills De Valk, De Kool en Het Luipaard (all 3 demolished at the end of the 19th century). The company that Gerrit van der Bijl started, was situated on the Kostverlorenvaart and the Gillis van Ledenberchstraat in Amsterdam. The firm continued as a family business until 1980 when it merged with the Houthandel Ambagtsheer & Van der Meulen, situated on the Gevelweg (houthaven) in Amsterdam. These companies were in turn acquired by the wholesale wood and building material company Jongeneel from Utrecht in 2007.

Very interesting large archive from economical point of view as well as from the perspective of local history in relation to 19th and 20th century Amsterdam entrepeneurship, business history and Dutch windmill industry. It consists mostly of the financial administration, i.a. (international) bills (with attractive letterheads), reminders, I.O.U.'s, financial claims, insurance policies etc. Also some personal bills of the family Van der Bijl. Including ledgers with the administration of the woodsaw activities: "Zaagloon Boek van de Molen de Kool" (1860-1903), "Zaagloon Boek van de Molen de Valk" (1860-1896) and "Zaagloon Boek van de Molen de Otter" (1860-1885). The windmill and the surrounding buildings were re-acquired in 2019 by the G.T. van der Bijl company.

- Several lvs. restored.

= Interesting and rich album containing numerous autographs, drawings, small anecdotes and/ or poems by the guests of the "bohémien" Amsterdam café "Theo Ruiter", previously located at the Rozengracht. Theo Ruiter (1911-1965) bought the café in 1939 and it became a safe haven for many people (of all layers of society) during the war. After the war it became a meeting point for the established and upcoming cultural talent of the "higher" and "lower" cultural classes. Frequently it served as a location for exhibitions by painters, caricaturists and cartoonists. For example, the television debut of Boudewijn Büch was at this café. A curious detail is that when the customers weren't able to pay the bill, Theo asked them to sign the guestbook. Sadly Theo passed away in 1965. His son Karel de Ruiter continued his legacy in the same manner until 1987. To name a few contributors: Willy Boers, Han Hollander (The Netherlands' first sports reporter; his signature on verso of a tipped-in lottery-ticket), Ulla Jacobsson, Jacques Gans, Bob Fernhout, Frans Mahn (world champion cycle racing in 1956), Ed van der Elsken (his signature among the guests of an exposition of female photographers, 1958; also signed by i.a. Yrrah), Igor Cornelissen, drawings by i.a. Eppo Doeve, Bob Buys, Wim Boost, Guus Boissevain ("Gub"), Frank Lodeizen (a portrait of Gerard den Brabander and a signed invitation to one of his exhibitions), Henk Albers, Yrrah and C.N.
