Design Patents

Issued for a new, original and ornamental design ( appearance rather than function) for an article of manufacture. It generally permits its owner to exclude others from making, using, or selling the design for a period of fourteen years from the date of the patent grant. When using this to date jewelry or other objects, remember that it is not necessarily when it was made, but it does tell you the earliest date it could have been made.

The number is the first used in each calendar year (# D105087 would be in 1937)
