ALONZO HEBBARD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO EDWARD CORNING AND J. W. DOMINICK, OF SAME PLACE.
Design No. 2,780, dated September 10, 1867.
DESIGN FOR A SPOON-HANDLE.
To All Whom It May Concern:
Be it known that I, Alonzo Hebbard, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented or produced a new and original Design for the Handles of Spoons, Forks, and other articles of table cutlery; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full description of the same.
The nature of my invention consists in making the handle with a broad, rounded upper end, with the corners scalloped out so as to form sharp angles with the concave sides of the handle.
But to describe my invention more particularly I will refer to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, the same letters of reference, wherever they occur, referring to like parts.
Figure 1 is a front view of the spoon.
Letter a is the bowl or blade of the spoon, and b the stem thereof. Surmounting the stem is the handle c, which is slightly enlarged at the point of its junction therewith, so as to form abrupt angles or corners, d d, as a support for the lower end of the handle. The shape of this handle is somewhat like an inverted cone, having its sides e e curved slightly inwards. The upper end or base of the cone f (as it may be called) is formed with an outward curve, the corners g of which are scalloped out to meet the curved side lines of the handle, and thus form the base of the cone or head of the handle into curved outlines and abrupt angles or corners, to give to the handle of the article uniqueness of design and elegance of finish.
I claim the pattern or design of the handle of a spoon, fork, or other article of table cutlery, hereinbefore set forth and shown.

Design No. 3,053, dated May 26, 1868.
DESIGN FOR A SPOON OR FORK-HANDLE.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :
Be it known that I, Alonzo Hebbard, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented or produced a new and Ornamental Design or Pattern for Spoons, Forks, and other articles of tableware or cutlery; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, the same letters of reference, wherever they occur, referring to like parts.
Figure 1 is a front view of the spoon.
Letter A represents the bowl or blade of the spoon. B is the stem or handle of the spoon, the sides of which are sexagonal in form. At or near its junction with the bowl are formed circular collars, c, d, and e, of which the middle one, d, is a little larger in diameter than the others, and has a gnarled edge, and at its upper end, at its junction with the head of the handle, a similar gnarled collar,/, supported on either side by circular collars, g and h. Surmounting the end of the stem is a dome-shaped head or capital, J, having two thin bands, K, around its base, and the intervening space between them subdivided into numerous vertical lines, L. Underneath the lower band is formed a collar, m, having its edge gnarled,-so as to form a bead-like base for the support of the dome and connection with the stem. Surrounding the dome is a gnarled-edged button, n. which is finished or surmounted by a small bead-like head, p, to complete the general design of the spoon.
Having now described my invention, I will proceed to set forth what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States.
I claim the design for the handle of a spoon, fork, &c. as described and shown.
