Be it known that I, FLORENTIN A.

Figure 1 is a View of the front or obverse side of a handle, showing mynew design. The handle is shown attached to the bowl of a spoon, the tines of a fork being indicated in broken lines. Fig. 2 is a view of the rear or reverse side of the handle.

As shown in the drawings, the leading or material feature of my design consists of a columnar ornament extending from the foliated base of the handle along the center of the stem and terminating at the junction of the blade with the stem, with the representation of a musician surrounded by floral ornamentations 0n the obverse side and on the reverse side of the handle with a group of musical instruments.

The central ornamentations are inclosed in raised marginal beads; terminating at the junction of the blade with the handle and at the end of the blade into foliated scrolls. The margin of the blade on the obverse side of the handle has a foliated border entwining two cupids. The reverse side of the blade of the handle has a border formed of curved palm branches.

In the drawings, aindicates the base of the handle, I) the stem, 0 the junction of the blade with the stem, and d the blade of the handle.

Having 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, as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
