Those are close Don. But have you checked out Dan X. Solo's Celebration -- especially the "e"? I'm looking for a copy - the one on myfont is by RMU - and the e is not correct.

Celebration

Jackie: I will have to look on a backup drive for my Dover DXSolo fonts. Will report back.

Interesting comment on Solo's Celebration by Alan Jay Prescott:

Note the claim that Solo’s Celebration Text, Testimonial Text and Innsbruck share identical lower-case letterforms.
AJP Revived it as Centrum Text.

Jackie: If it's not in the Solo CD series of books perhaps it's in his print specimen books -- which I no longer have. But I do have have the following note:
Gothic and Old English Alphabets, 100 Complete Fonts, pages 46 and 96. Dover Publications, Inc. (Minneola, NY, 1984).
Celtic and Medieval Alphabets, 53 Complete Fonts, pages 32–33. Dover Publications, Inc. (Minneola, NY, 1998).

Looks like you found the lower case 'e'

Merry Christmas -

Finally found my copy of Solo's Celebration Text. Here it is for "reborn."

Same design as the image but a rougher digitization.

The original design may have been Kanzleiscrift by Schelter & Giesecke in the 1890s.
I have only a poor quality image which truncates the hairline serifs.
Offered in three widths. Middle shown here:


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
