sign restoration font help

I know I know this is probably a sign writers font. Ok degrade me call me a hack blah blah blah.

I was inquring if the. "A.C BOEHMER" is a "known" font.
Only because the R is missing I can recreate it from the essence of the B,however if its and actual font then I would prefer to consult the actual letter.

Also if the "paper boxes" is a known font. The s is missing.


This client is doing a full restore only from this picture.

Those look definitely like handlettered fonts based a some common signpainters fonts from back then. You would see both those styles as examples in old sign books.

Handlettered. There are variations in the 'P' in paper. Easy enough to scan and replicate - even the missing letters if you know how to manipulate strokes.

Here is the finished product. what ya'll think

the glass was a completely new one. I only had the picture attached earlier to work with. Distorted it and what not in photo shop and illustrator then made a vinyl stencil.

for the r on the boehmer I turned around the b and put a bar on it.

Please dont be kind I like it rough.
