Today
A new location in Weesp opened on October 1, 2024. This large, modern venue is designed to meet today's needs: its own auction room and spacious viewing and work spaces, easily accessible by both car and public transport, private parking, and traditional craftsmanship and expertise.
History
The Dutch Stamp Auction BV was founded in 1942.
After several management changes, the company was taken over in 1979 by Paul Bulterman and Cees Muis, both prominent figures in the stamp world.
In 1980, the auction offering was expanded to include coins, after which the auction house, under their leadership, grew into an internationally operating organization with a branch in the heart of Amsterdam on Rokin.
Paul Bulterman remained active until 1991 and was succeeded by his son Bas Bulterman.
Cees Muis retired in 2003 and handed over his duties to René Dresken.
These successions have never detracted from the existing professional knowledge:
Both Bas and René grew up in the profession from a young age.
Later, Martijn Bulterman also joined the company, bringing with him extensive expertise thanks to his lifelong involvement in philately and numismatics and his long-standing chairmanship of the NVPH.
As of January 1, 2024, Martijn handed over his duties to Daan Oosterbaan, who has also been involved with the auction house since his youth and has developed a strong passion for collecting.
As of September 1, 2025, Daan Oosterbaan has left the company.
His shares and activities were fully transferred to René Dresken.
René Dresken now carries out the work together with Jari and Jan and looks forward to organizing many more successful auctions, building on the auction house's rich tradition and strong ties with collectors, dealers, and resellers.
The Dutch Stamp and Coin Auction has a long tradition of intensive collaboration with collectors, dealers, and resellers, and also enjoys broad international renown.
We work with agents in Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Germany who can appraise and collect items.
This enables us to advise our clients on the most appropriate strategy for selling their collection.
Our company is financially very healthy, affiliated with all relevant professional organizations, and with an annual turnover of over 10 million euros, has grown into one of the largest auction houses in the Benelux.
