A beautiful, authentic, and rare red-copper milk can/measurement can. This specimen is not just a standard milk can, but an officially calibrated measuring instrument that was used within a dairy or distribution network facility. At the top of the neck the can bears the fine, stamped inscription: "MEETINRICHTING" on the front and "OP 'Y K' (On Calibration)" on the back. This confirms the historical and official status of the object, making it a highly sought-after item for collectors of antique measuring tools and dairy history.

Een prachtige, authentieke en zeldzame roodkoperen melkbus/meetbus. Dit exemplaar is niet zomaar een standaard melkbus, maar een officieel geijkt meetinstrument dat werd gebruikt binnen een zuivel- of distributiemeetinrichting.
Aan de bovenzijde van de hals is de bus voorzien van de fraaie, ingeslagen tekst: "MEETINRICHTING" aan de voorzijde en "OP 'Y K" (Op IJk) aan de achterzijde. Dit bevestigt de historische en officiële status van het object, wat het een zeer gezocht item maakt voor verzamelaars van antiek meetgereedschap en zuivelhistorie.
