Well, it says 'foreign'. Makes me think it was sold in UK. Perhaps post-WWI? Cut from natural rock..
A Thurri imported from Germany?

I don't think you'll find a better one.

Peter or Neal will know for sure but the logo could possibly be the Bösenberg, Trinks and Co which was a direct follow-up or subsidiary company of J.G. Escher Sohn. They also sold thuringian hones under this logo. The company was then taken over by another german firm, the Schleifmittel AG that existed until 1963. Thanks for sharing.

I think Modine is correct on this...

It looks like a B.T. & Co. logo and the dimensions of the stone make a good case for it being a quality Thuriingian.
