DESIGN FOR A HANDLE FOR SPOONS OR SlMILAR ARTICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 34,1 57, dated March 5, 1901.

Application filed February 12, 1901. Serial No. 47,078. Term of patent '7 years.

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H. CURTIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts,have invented a certain new and original Design for the Handle of a Spoon or Similar Article, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows the obverse of a spoon-handle containing my design, and Fig. 2 the reverse of the same.

The leading or material features of my design consist in the marginal spherical beading, combined with terminal scroll ornamentation.

In detail my new handle may be described as follows: The marginal ornamentation consists of graduated spherical heads a. The beads which bound the handle-stem O are small and gradually increase in size as they continue upwardly to bound the swelled portion or shank of the handle B. Again the beads diminish in size until the base of the handle-head A is reached, when they again grow larger and terminate in inwardly-diof the head A is completed by a crest cl of foliated scrolls surmounting the spirals b and c. The head ornamentation is completed, downwardly directed foliates within each margin shown on the obverse, as e e, and on the reverse by n n.

The base of the handle-stem has on its obverse side a leaf m, surmounting a circular bead 0, which lies immediately above two inwardly-directed circular bead spirals s. The reverse of the stem shows the spherical marginal beading as terminating in inwardly-directed foliates 'v o.

It is evident that my new design is applicable to the handles of forks and similar articles.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The design for the handle of a spoon or similar article, as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY H. CURTIS.
