Not certain if this is a font or lettering.
Futura Display Compressed has a similar weight, height to width ratio, and similar shapes for most of the letters, but lacks the tiny Copperplate Gothic style serifs.

Good find Jersygirl!
Further info from Mac McGrew, author of American Metal Typefaces of the 20th Century:
---start quote---
Hess Neobold was designed by Sol Hess for Monotype in 1934. It is a narrow, bold, and very squarish gothic with small serifs, designed for attention-getting display in a style of the day, but never made in more than one size. Compare Airport Tourist (Futura Display), Othello.
---end quote--
So, designed by a master type designer
