Description

FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a handle for an article of flatware showing my new design, the broken line showing of a spoon bowl being illustrative of environmental matter only and forming no part of the claimed design;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view thereof, the opposite side being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view thereof taken on line 4--4 of FIG. 1; and

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view thereof taken on line 5--5 of FIG. 1.

The top and bottom surfaces of the handles are entirely smooth and the surface ornamentation represented by the stippled shading is due to different coloration rather than variation of surface.
