Figure 1 represents a face view of a spoon having its handle ornamented in accordance with my design, and Fig. 2 is a back view of the same.

Ais the handle, the marginal contour of which resembles that of other handles of various articles of table flatware. The outer end portion of said handle is ornamented on its face, within the marginal outline thereof, by a combined scroll and floral raised figure, b c, the scroll portion b appearing as if supported by a stem or rib-like figure or extension, (1, down the one side of the face of the handle, and the floral portion 0 resembling a group of curved offshoots from the scroll of bulb-like form, as shown in Fig. 1.

Across the face of the handle, near the middle and inner end, are raised ornaments ff, each of which resembles aspiral cord wrapped around the handle, and with its ends passing through the handle and terminating in knots e on the same surface of the handle as the main portion of the cord-like figure appears.

Upon the back of the handle is a similar cord-like figuref, terminating in knots e e at its ends.
