Thanks for the reply Fred.
After taking a closer look at the customers sign...that looks like what was done in the previously.
There are very few sharp corners, some of the curves have jagged places in them, and its not very
clean at all. I could do a trace off of a photo, but i will be reproducing the same garbled image as
the previous sign maker. I would feel better knowing that I tried to replicate their artwork by spending
the time to find the font. I may be wrong by doing this, but it makes me feel better.
I have run this through every font identifier site that google brought up.
I know it can be redrawn, but I would prefer the actual font. Just in case
they decide to use the same font for different advertising.
I may be way out of line here, but I would not even try to find that font. Show the client something better. Both in the sign's layout and in the font. That thing is so dated looking. And the over-sized T, what's that?
I find that sign to be so far from an inspired, sharp look it's not even funny.
If you truly do want to replicate it, (or nearly so) I'd find a font with similar characteristics. (height to width ratio, stroke width, etc.) Then I'd create that little "swash" and copy it. Set all your type and throw on the swash on certain, particular letters.
My 2 cents.
Looks like it might have been Bookman Swash in a previous life.

Nice font.
I wonder how the egyptians would have reproduced this beautiful piece of art.
Good luck in finding your font.
Agree with you
If all else fails you could hire a sign or graphic artist to do the job.
