To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, GEo. GILL, of Stratford, county of Fairficld, and EDWIN L. BRIT- TIN, of Derby, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Design for Spoon and Fork Handles; and we do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked there- 10 on, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification and represents a face View.

This invention relates to a design for spoon and fork handles; and it consists in the configuration and ornamentation, as shown in the accompanying illustration.

From the narrowest part the handle expands in a curved line to near the end, there termi- 2o nating in a semicircle extending from the extreme point at one side to the corresponding point on the opposite side, and ornamented by -a head around the edge. Across the face of the handle, at the extreme point where the semi- 2 5 circular tip begins, is a horizontal band ornamented by a series of rosettes, with a series of points extending downward from the band. At one end of the band is the representation of a fan-shaped ornament extending onto the face below the band. An ornamented bar extends diagonally across and upward from the intersection of the semicircle with the sides, and on the surface of the handle, below the arch, is the representation of a floriated branch extending from a transverse boss about mid- 5 way of the handle and upward to the transverse band. A butterfly is represented as lighting upon the branch.

'We claim- The hereindescribed design for spoon and 40 fork handle, consisting of the gradually-expandin g curved sides, semicircular tip, extending from the extreme point at one side to corresponding point on the opposite side, with a head around the edge and an ornamented trans- 4 5 verse band from the point at one side where the semicircle begins to the corresponding point on opposite side, an ornamental bar diagonally from one of said points upward, and a fan-shaped ornament at the intersection of the transverse and diagonal bands, with a floriated branch on the face of the handle below said band, all as shown in the accompanying illustration.
