DESIGN FOR A SPOON OR FORK HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 14,911, dated March 25, 1884.

Application filed Febrtary 18,1884. Term of patent 7 years.

.To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEO. B. KELLEY, of Rockford, in the county of \Vinnebago and State of Illinois, have invented a new Design for Spoon and Fork Handle; and I do here by declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked thereon, 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 design relates to the handles of spoons, forks, and like articles of table-service; and it consists in the configuration and ornamenta tion, as shown in the accompanying illustration and hereinafter described.

Thehandlc, fromitsconnection with thebowl, expands slightly to the boss midway of the length of the handle. The boss is of lozenge shape, one angle projecting from each side. From this boss the sides of the handle converge to the end. At the end the line of the sides turns inward by about a quarter-circle, and from these segments a line inclines upward to a cent ral point. The head around the edge forms a panel upon the surface. Diagonally across this panel, extending from border to border, is a band composed of two beads,

with a vine between them. On the surface bclowthe band avine is represented as springing from the boss, but dying out behind the band. At the tip end, on the surface of the panel, a scgmentshaped bead extends from side to side, the curve upward, and between lowing its outline and forming a panel upon the surface, on the said panel a diagonal band extending from the border at one side to the border upon the opposite side, a segmentshaped bead across the panel near the tip, the space between the bead and the tip ornamented with the representation of fioriatedtracery, as shown inthe accompanying illustration.
