Chicken tiles aint they? Johnsons those are, Neale's right. They were out for years so you have a good chance of finding some somewhere I'd guess. 6x6 I think they were. Nicknamed chicken tiles as the vein in them appears to look like a chicken when held the right way. Though they did have an actual name too, I forget now though. Topps may have the name on their system still. (Tile Giant even but I know Topps did).

TV and then a number or Textured Vein, Candy had a similar tile to but it didn't have the chicken in it. The main one was Johnsons, TV . 4 1/4" or 6".
