ASSIHNUH 'lt) llUfll'Ilih DESIGN FOR A SPOON OR FORK HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 15 134 dated July 8,1884

To all, whom it may concern.-

lie it, known that I. Armani A. Smcnur, of )leriden, in the county of New llaven and State of Connecticut, have invented anew De sign for Spoon and Fork Handles; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent a face view.

This invention relates to a design for the ornamentation of spoons, forks, and like articles of table-service; and the invention consists in the ornamentation as shown in the accompanying illustration and hereinafter described.

In outline the handle from near the bowl or body gradually expands toward the tip, where it terminates in a semicircle. About midway of the length of the handle is a transverse band, a, composed of beads, plain and ornamented, extending across the face of the handle. Above this band a and from each side of the handle a band extends diagonally upward and to the opposite side, the said two bands crossing each other. The face of these two bands shows a series of star-like ornaments.

Above the bands and in the angle is the representation of leaves. and which together form 0 an angle ornann-nt. lit-tween the bandsabove this ornamentation the face of the handle is left plain. Below the band (IV the face of the handle is reeded to a second band, 1:, similar to the hand a, and below the second hand b is 5 the representation of leaves.

The essential feature of the design is a transverse band about midway of the length of the handle, with the representation of two bands running diagonally across and upward on the 0 face of the handle, and so as to cross each other. The other parts of the ornamentation may be varied without departing from this general design.

I claim-- The herein-described design for spoon and fork handle, consisting of the band a transversely across the face of the handle; and above this band an ornamental band running from each side diagonally across and upward and so 50 asto appear to cross each other above the band a, as shown in the accompanying illustration.

ALBERT A. SPERRY.
