someone sent me this about this tinnie...
the tinnie isn't Dutch; it's a very old (antique) German Horned Owl Fraternal Lodge Festival tinnie (the organization is similar to our Elks or Moose Lodges). I had a group of these a couple years ago from a town veteran, one was dtd 1866 & I believe yours to be from back then too. They used a fraternal "language" ( Dutch-German nonsensical mix) which doesn't make a lot of sense to people not in their Organization. Examples: Willekum is "Welcome". Brema is "Bremen". Many of their tinnies seem to have come from the northern part of Germany.
this fraternity also existed in AustriaComment
