DESIGN FOR A HANDLE FOR SPOONS, 86C! SPECIFICATION formingpart of Design No. 31,068, dated June 27, 1899,

Application filed June 2, 1899- Serial No. 719,153. Term of patent 7 years.

To ztZZ whom it may concern:

3e it known that I, FRANK G. HOLMES, of Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented and produced a new and original Design for the Handle of a Spoon Fork, or Similar Article, of which the following; is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

Figure 1 is a View of the front or obverse side of a handle, showing the same attached to the bowl of aspoon and indicating the blade of a fork in broken lines. Fig. 2 is a View of the reverse side of the handle.

The drawings illustrate my design.

The leading features of my design consist in the raised marginal border of the handle, in which a number of parallel lines terminating in scrolls represent staves curved to conform to the margin of the handle, overlaid on the obverse side of the handle at intervals with sprays, presenting to the eye the appearance of staves tied together at intervals, and foliated ornaments extendingfrom the scrolls.

In the drawings, A. indicates the bowl of a spoon, and B the stem, and C the blade, of the handle. The stem of the handle is narrower near the junction of the handle with the article to which it is attached and increases in width to the junction of the stem with the blade, where it curves outward. At the junction of the stem with the article the handle curves outward and terminates in the scrolls a a. At the lower and narrowest part of the stem the handle, on the obverse side, is overlaid by the raised ornament b, and on the reverse side of the handle the five-branch foliated ornament 0 extends from the end of the handle over the back of the article. The margin of the stem is ornamented with the -raised border (I, consisting of a number of parallel beads terminating at the junction of the stem with the blade in curved ends c The blade O of the handle is of the conventional fiddle-shaped outline. The margin is ornamented. by the raised border (1 J", similar to the border d of the stem. At the jnnction of the blade with the stem the raised border d d terminates in the scrolls ff and atthe upper end of the blade in the scrolls gg, connected by the radially headed and raised crest h. The foliated scrolls t 1' extend from the crests h h on both sides of the handle downward over the upper part of the blade 0. On the obverse side of the handle the foliated scroll it extends from the lower end of the blade 0 over the upper end of the stem. The raised borders d and d on the obverse side of the handle are overlaid at intervals by the sprays ll, presenting to the eye the appearance of staves bound together at in tervals by the spray ornaments.

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, fork or similar article herein shown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

FRANK G. HOLMES.
