Jeff:
The rectangular Denver Road herald was used from 1899 to 1906 and was a copy of the Colorado Road herald being used by the C&S. See scans of C&S version.
And while on the subject of the Denver Road herald, it bothers me that BNSF, a railroad based in Fort Worth, left the Denver Road herald off their heritage units, though they earlier used the herald on heritage covered hoppers. They used the C&S "button" herald
on both the hoppers and the diesels. Ironic, as the FW&D corporately lasted a year longer than the C&S before being merged out of existence.

Howdy gang,
Hope you're doing well. I'm looking for clear views of the round and rectangular "The Denver Road" heralds as used on
rolling stock by the FW&DC, prior to their adoption of the Burlington "block." This isn't to be confused with the familiar version that was widely used in print.
Attached is a blurry enlargement of one of the rectangular variety. This is a detail of a photo from the DPL Western History Collection.
Any info you can provide would be appreciated, especially with regard to time frames.
Thanks,
-Jeff Ford
