Canadian Pacific Railway Silver Plated Griddle Cover
(very rare – circa 1920's – bought directly from CPR in the mid 70's)
Note: Shadows on photos are only due to reflections (very difficult to shoot photos of silverware).
This item was bought directly from Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1970's when they exited the passenger train business. They sold all of their silverware used in their dining cars through their own shop called "CP Bygones". This Griddle Cover was purchased directly from CP Bygones and stored for 30+ years. Although it was officially called a 'griddle cover' by CPR, it was used to keep all hot foods served on crockery or china plates. Cover measures 7 1/4 " in diameter and 3 1/4" high. Shows normal wear from years of service. Strong CPR script on side of dome cover (see photo 2). Photo 3 shows inside of cover. Manufactured by AT Wiley - Elkington Plate.
Very hard to find item as this item was only listed in their 1973 Bygones catalogue..
