A baptismal font shown in a 1927 photograph in the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek [https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/4YORF3ZJR25OFZXE4YXZZVGSH4BIWFR5] [accessed 8 February 2024] with the caption: "Taufstein, ( Roschbach) steht im Hof des Gasthauses zum Adler".

No cover present at the time (1927). An undated photograph or postcard [cf. ImagesArea] shows the font outside a Roschbach inn serving as planter. Its present whereabouts are unknown.
