The entry for this church in Rijksmonumenten [https://rijksmonumenten.nl/monument/517531/sint-nicolaaskerk/haps/] [accessed 26 December 2021] reports a bluestone baptismal font of 1500 with a copper lid ["koperen deksel"] of 1912. Rien Wols' De Nicolaaskerk in Haps [https://www.bhic.nl/ontdekken/verhalen/de-nicolaaskerk] [accessed 26 December 2021] suggests the date of the font ca. 1600.
Pol Herman communication to BSI (e-mail of 17 December 2021) notes about a picture of the font he received: picture says 17th century, but I do not agree. This is probably early-16th century, as the shape of the base suggests.
