I have no idea as to the name of this font and would appreciate any suggestions. The pinmark shows BB&S, Chicago. Thank you.

PS - The lower case letters c, f, g, and r, are very distinctive. Thanks again.

As far as I can see it is a typeface called Lightface Runic, but I need to see the lower case a's and also the figure 4

there's a 4 in the upper righthand corner ... just not as clean as the others

can you spot it?

Found this example of Monotype Runic on the web:

Looks quite similar to me (although a condesed version).

fatsean,
would you by any chance have a pic of the entire set?
AJT thinks it might be close - but he wants to be sure!

Regards, Andy
