The S doesn't match up - but if you need a quick substitute
Suggested font: Figaro

Seems to be some old wood type that was used for the nameplate.
Good choice for a substitute.
This is the Monotype version first published in 1940.
Not certain who first did the design -- it's a version of the French Clarendons that were popular in the 19th century.
Perhaps Stephenson Blake or American Type Founders.
Old Town No 536 seems to be the same design as Figaro.
I mention this mainly because Old Town No 536 can be purchased for 60% less than Figaro
There are also versions that include Cyrillic and Greek letter forms: http://myfonts.us/td-8lsxD7
Suggested font: Old Towne No 536

Available from ATF from 1936 onwards
Not to be confused with ITC Bookman, which is a later design.
Suggested font: Bookman
