1940s Brush Font ID Please?

[klmiller611]

I posted this on what the font forum, to no result, so I am hoping that all the font gurus here can point me to a font like this.

This is originally done in the late 1940s and used up through the early 1960s, I feel sure it was done by someone truly of old school by hand, but I'd love to find a font that is close to this for specialized use today.

Thanks in advance for you thoughts.

Wow, I thought sure someone here would have made a suggestion, as many good eyes as we have for fonts!

I guess I need to go look for some reference books from the era.

A&S Fat Bottom Brush is close, maybe?

 

[Pixels Are Bad Mmmkay?]

Two different e's, two different o's, two different n's, and two different r's. Unless it's been hacked and/or autotraced to pieces, it's definitely not a font.

EDIT: My bad. You were already aware of this, apparently.

No autotrace here, I feel certainly that it was someone who did it the old fashioned way, which was the way it was done then.

I redrew it in Illustrator, carefully years ago. We learned lettering back in the dark ages in college, but that was a long time ago, and as I recall, I had no real knack then for it. But honestly, it is something you either can, or cannot do, not much middle ground on it.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Looks like something hand-painted with a broad flat brush..... and over the years and through xeroxing and copying it, it has become what is commonly known as a 'Bastardized' font.

Why?

just because.........it appears as a LOGO, dont mean its ever been a font. COCA-COLA.. old PEPSI, FORD, were only thing done that way.............when you can freehand, you can paint it........and mimick the style..........easily for all letters.
