From Jerseygirl's suggestion I managed to find it, it's called Garton

The Garton by D. Rakowski comes closer but the best match I have found is Castcraft's OPTIAnnouncement. Not sure about the M.

Thanks. I rejected the Odette because I could not find a matching A and C in the same font file So I went for the announcement.

Yet, since we now have a better picture, here we go. Just to show how critical it is to find a perfect match.
Top Odette, bottom OPTI Announcement. Both pretty close but not the exact match.



Happens all the time with revivals. Even with the same spec sheet.

It's ok, as you say these are revivals, so...

The green outline on the top is what you would get when you use the sample image to recreate the typeface.

Nice, as usual. Do you have the complete spec sheet?

Yes
<Announcement Roman and Italic were designed by Morris F.Benton in 1916, adapted from steel or copperplate engravings, but not completed and released until 1918. These delicate faces have had some popularity for annoucements social stationery, and a limited amount of advertsing work, but are a little too fancy for extensive use. Oddly, some of the plain caps shown in the specimens, both roman and italic, do not seem to appear in any ATF specimens. Foundry records show that a 48-point size of the roman was cut in 1927, but no other listing or showing of it has been found. In fact, sizes over 24-point were discontinued after a few years, and all sizes were discontined in 1954.> Mac McGrew
