Rogers Bone ID exercise!

I am going to post further on a related topic, but like a lot of us I am interested to know why this jigging is no longer seen. It seems crazy that it was once so common. I have a couple of the CC Diamond Jack 48s and would happily buy every GEC pattern in this same jigging if given the opportunity.

Which of these are Rogers/imitation?

I think a big part of it was that bone jigging was a skilled job for a trained employee. There could be a pretty big difference between the guy running the machine before lunch, and a different guy running it after lunch. A lot of bone now is auto-jigged by a machine. Machines aren't good at giving a lot of variation.
