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.
