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. c _____ Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The information in this email and any attachments may contain confidential information that is intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
