SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 13,838, dated April Application filed March 3, 1883. Term of patent 7 years.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM Roenns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented and produced a new and original Design for the Handle of Spoons, Forks, 8.20., of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof, in which is represented a front view of a spoon having my newly-designed handle.

The invention relates to a design for the handle of spoons, forks, and like articles of tableservice; and it consists in the peculiar eonfiguration of the upper part of the handle, in connection with scrolls, rosettes, &o., embossed thereon, and also in a series of transverse c'orrugations of uniform size upon the handlestem.

To describe the invention more fully, starting from the body of the article, the stem A of the handle is made with substantially parallel sides, and it is provided about half-way of its length with a series of transverse corrugations, a, of uniform size. The stem expands laterally in curves b, of about aquarter of a circle, where it joins the upper part, B, of the ban dle. This part B is nearly elliptic in form and free of fillets, there are two scrolls, d, and between the scrolls is a sheaf of leaves, 0, secured by a hand, f, and above said sheaf is a fillet, g, inclosing the upper end, as shown in the accompanying illustration.-

What I claim is-- 1. The herein-described design for articles of table-service, consisting of a handle the stem A of which has substantially parallel sides, and a series of transverse corrugations,

except adjoining the tip, where c, surrounding rosettes o a, of uniform size, with the contour of the up- 0 per part, B, of the handle of substantially elliptical form, as set forth.

2. I.he herein-described design, having the contour of the stem A terminating in quartercircles b, the substantially elliptical upper part, 4 5

B, having a plain surface free of fillets except at the tip end, said tip having an ornament composed of two rosettes surrounded by scrolls o, and between said scrolls a sheaf consisting of several substantially as shown and described.
