That would seem to make sense, since the Maple Leaf logo was the older emblem for the railroad, before the "Lucky Strike" pattern and maybe even the "Corn Belt Route" as well (not sure about the latter but definitely before my favorite "Lucky Strike" design). The Maple Leaf pattern for the china would've been pre-Depression (I have a pass from the CGW with that design on it and I think it's circa 1910). <br /> <br />It's worth keeping an eye out for it in antique shops where RR china is sold. There may be a decent chance a person selling such pieces might not even know how rare it is, since so little knowledge of CGW china exists. I bought a CGW star-shaped flanger sign from a dealor in Cedar Rapids who had no clue what it was and I paid $10 for it - worth a lot more than that I've been told!
