Odd marking on bone

[Lou7504]

Found this bone the other day. Nothing that remarkable about it except for the set of carved lines. Any ideas? Thanks.

Possibly growth lines. But from what? Cool piece.

It sort of looks like you have yourself a ham bone that the meat was pre-sliced.

Good call that could be it. It seems pretty old though.

It does look like a ham bone.....

Most of the old (buried) bone around here turns black or blueish so I won't be any help. Very nice.

Bingo, we have a winner. That is exactly what that is.

Age?

Considering that those perfectly straight lines were very likely made by a meat saw I would venture less than 50 years old.

A fine bone regardless. Got a dog who might enjoy it Lou?...
