old international rock evidently still functioning as a french interregional<br/>
<br/>
contemporary interregional boundaries like the french alsace lorraine line<br/>
just revisited at breitenstein etc may generally resemble roman<br/>
interprovincial boundaries in their manner of internalizing former<br/>
international frontiers<br/>
<br/>
& to that extent they may represent our last best hope for hunting down the<br/>
oldest of formerly world class but still working rocks<br/>

international boundary dating from around 1493<br/>
& sets an approximate limit on the possible age of this stone<br/>
<br/>
whether it actually is so old  i dont know<br/>
but it looks like it could be pretty old<br/>
<br/>
& thus it could also be in the running for oldest working rock<br/>
the category where i believe we were most recently treated to a 1540<br/>
tho i cant honestly recall the true state of the art in this case<br/>
<br/>
for now  this rock just makes a good companion for all those wingen rocks<br/>
