Very Old Label - Font Help

[meb]

I have attached a scan of an old label that a customer wanted to recreate. He would like it to be as authentic as possible. I had no problem recreating the label shape but could not find the exact font matches for the the words "No.11" and "Electric". The customer is very particular and would like to match the fonts as close as possible. Any ideas?????




My selections were an attempt but not very successful to say the least.

what you have looks good to me... but if it needs to be exact use old mr. pen tools and trace it.

Ya. I was thinking I may just have to recreate it in Illustrator. But thought I'd test the expertise of my fellow signs 101ers first!
Thanks for your help!

Here....he should have fired you when you showed him the Brush Script option. :Big Laugh

The vector file isn't perfect but it's close enough for small labels.

Wow...now that I look at the jpeg it needs some tweaking.

Thanks. Just created a vecor file myself. Should have just done so from the start.
Haste makes waste!
