There are no I REPEAT NO Schreger lines that are a unique overlapping pattern found in ivory. Because these are made of bovine beef cattle bones. All one sees in these dice (we took many 10X magnification photos of every side) are saw marks, striations and black dots found in bovine beef cattle bones
.
Until the 1930s, every slaughter house in the world had secondary sources of income beside the meat. They sold the bones to companies that made everything you can think of out of the BEEF cattle bovine bones from Knife Handles, Combs, Sewing Hooks, Doctors tongue depressors, buttons and yes, BONE DICE made of the bovine beef bones after they cut off the meat. There are thousands of bovine bone products on eBay right this minute. Today most beef bovine bones from slaughter houses are pulverized into pet food and fertilizer called bone meal.
The wood box is in excellent shape and the lid fits securely. Nice piece of Americana
History that would make a unique gift.
