I realize the image is blurry (it comes from a very very old photograph), but I'm designing a t-shirt for the hose company's 125th anniversary and they requested this font and wording on the shirts.

It reads "Bureau of Fire, DuBois, PA"

It just needs to be close.

Blurry? I can't even tell you any other font close to that Search in Google for better image.

don't you have a image more blurry?... hehehehehe XD

Look at : American specimen book of type styles : complete catalogue of printing machinery and printing supplies. 1912

Seeing as we're a small town and we were provided this photo by the hose company, that's about as good as I can get it. I apologize for the quality of the photo but I do appreciate the feedback from claudeserieux.

To find a better image of the typeface (1890's).
