I'd say that's done by hand and used only on that logo, done at the time that logo was designed..... a long time ago.

I'm afraid you are going to have to do some work OP. The closest thing I have ever found.....which will require some stretching and editing skills is HAPPY CAMPERS originally from Nick Curtis (which is now a different font entirely). Here is a link to the original version. Its what I started with as a base font to edit some years back for a bunch of Petroliana Museum restoration and replication work. It may not be the closest....but It's what I chose at the time to work with.

Should not be a problem. Break out the lettering quills, one shot and talent, paint and scan!

Font was hand lettered and screened back in the 20's I beleive.

Here is a scan of page 507 of the American Type Founders Company, Specimen Book and Catalogue, dated 1923.
Close but some letters may require slight modifcation, not a problem for a sign writer.

Allways bugs me when the drop shadow is at the top of the letters. Not a right or wrong, just the way I learned to letter. Benguiat and Bookman bold are similar.

Me too, it just doesn't look right for some reason.

You are right Dave, It is not correct!

The whole problem could have been taken care of by purchasing the correct decals (screen printed) or reproduction porcelain signs.
Complete list of suppliers are found at www.oldgas.com problem solved, if you are looking for perfection in the restoration of these artifacts!

But if you are looking for the cheap way out and not authenticity, go for cheap!:Oops:

Here is the correct versions.
