Royal Consent
A recurring question on D.A.R. history is the use of the Crown on various items. Generally speaking, to use an item reserved for Royalty, one must receive Royal Consent by means of an instrument such as a Royal Charter or Royal Warrant granted by the Queen, the Privy Council or in Canada by the Queen in Council.
Of note to date there is the question of what was the consent that allowed the D.A.R. to use a Royal Crown, and noteably a Victorian Crown, on locomotive engine numberplates, food service silverware and the D.A.R. Steamship Co. crest?
No evidense so far of any British Royal Charter or Warrant nor
