Associated Telephone Number Card (Dial Center) - repost, better image

Feb 04, 2014 at 11:23

I found a better image, but I still want the font to make a perfect replica. The font seems to be a classic sans-serif, but with an unusual feature in that the horizontal center strokes of "E" and "H" are well above the midpoint of the cap height. Also, the bowl of the "P" is not closed, and the top of the "Y" is quite widely splayed. It seems familiar, but I haven't been able to match it to any of the fonts I have.

I would guess this artifact is pre-1970, possibly pre-1960. It's what is known as a "number card" (or sometimes called a "dial center") from the middle of a rotary-dial telephone fingerwheel. Normally the number of the line to which the phone was connected would have been written or rubber-stamped in the white banner across the middle of the card.

Thanks in advance for your help!
