This is an article on the various silverware marks on Dominion Atlantic fine dining silverware.
Circular DAR
Time period? Significance?
Circular DAR on Round Crest with Crown
Time period is suspect to be pre-CPR making it pre-1912.
This leads back to the dicussions on locomotive boiler number plates that have a crown on them too. You can't display a crown on something without a Royal Charter and during the pre-CPR years, the original Nova Scotia Coat of Arms and the round crest with a crown was prevalent on many company items.
Inquiries have been made concerning the existance of a Royal Charter to the Dominion Atlantic Railway but have come up with nothing. This still needs to be persued and would be a little historical "coup" if found.
