[CBQ] Re: CBQ items for auction

[William Barber <clipperw@gmail.com>]

All of the dining car silverware and the silver service such as coffee pots, creamers, sugar container, etc. had BR engraved on them as part of the decorative design. On the other hand, the coal scoop and locomotive oil can that I have, have CB&Q stamped on them. So, both identification methods were common. As Mr. Zadnichek indicates, for public passenger identification, Burlington Route and BR were commonly used.

Lots o' goodies if you've got the scratch.    One of the Burlington items is marked "BR", wouldn't it be marked "CB&Q"?  Time for the experts to chime in...
