Metal Collection Box Elisabethbode — Christian Weekly Fundraising

An authentic metal collection box from the Elisabethbode, a Christian weekly newspaper published in the Netherlands for over a century. These types of tin collection boxes were widespread in the first half of the 20th century: volunteers carried them door-to-door to collect money for missionary work, Christian associations, or charities. A silent witness to a time when community spirit and faith went hand in hand.

The box has a slender cylindrical shape with a dark green lid and a paper wrapper bearing the magazine's name. Compact, light, and full of history — a special collector's item for enthusiasts of religious heritage, old print, or Dutch social history.
