This tin, or "Eetketel", was used by a soldier of the Dutch National Guard, J. Boelen Jkzn, in the early 19th century. The inscription on the tin identifies him as a "Flankeur", a type of volunteer soldier who later became a "Korporaal", a non-commissioned officer. The "Eetketel" is a valuable artifact of Dutch military history, offering a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during this period. It is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
