Kissling Street Lamps Enigma

[Karkassus Jigsaw]

Can anybody explain why the street lamps in Kissling - placed near the Eric Linden Bridge - have a creation date which predates the birth of the creator? 

The lamp looks like an exact copy of the lamps in boardman, which were shift-copied at a later date...

My guess is that it is another example of objects that were created during the alpha/beta phase of SL which were then migrated over to the main grid. The metadata references the creator, whose same account was recreated on the main grid and thus has a newer creation date than the object itself.

The same thing can be observed with "The Man Statue". https://secondlife.com/destination/the-man

As it happens, the creator of the lamppost referenced in the OP is listed as one of the Beta Contributors on the monument in Plum.

Ah that would explain the birthdate-createdate problem. Thank you! Nice! I hadn't noticed that the Statue had the same problem.

So maybe Harald Nomad did a Eric-Linden-Bridge trick with Alberto Lindens street lamp in Boardman - cause why would Alberto Linden meticulously copy a resident build? Now all I've got to do is to find the full perm Wednesday Grimm object that Harald used.

If you do happen to get your hands on that lamp post, shoot me a copy. I'd love to have a piece of history like that.
