Christopher,
Are you sure it is a true lime stone and not something more like a Tennessee
marble?
Best,
Leland

I walked by there today. I have seen these before, particularly at 166 East
96 St. The "lines" are carved into the stone. Plus the lines are horizontal
in the "field" and vertical in the "pier" stones. I believe it may be called
a "plucker" finish. They are somewhat irregular and freehand looking in
depth and linearity plus some areas of the stone don't have it at all. It is
a form of texture or "rustication" common in Art Deco limestone.
Yes I have seen it in art deco limestone, and specifically 166 East 96th
Street. But if you are saying they are introduced by the carver, I ... I
... I stumble, and can't quite believe it is true. Even though I bow low,
very low, to your expertise. They are so irregular, so "natural".
I await Ken's visit.
