These scrolls are interlaced at the lower 25 end of the handle by an encircling vine ornamentation E. The scroll border of the upper portion of the handle is also entwined hya similar vine F, which is represented as sending out tendrils G, extending upon the plain o central panel II of the handle, all as shown in the accompanying illustration.

Having described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 35 The design for a handle for spoons, forks, and similar articles as herein shown and de scribed.
