No exact match found.
Derived from the well known lettering in the ancient Trajan Column, which has numerous digital interpretations including Carol Twombly's Trajan, which could be edited to make a close approximation of the image.

Suggested font: Trajan

The Old English style letters do indeed seem to be modeled on the Old English of William Caslon.
The digital vesrisons are a reasonable substitute for them.

The Roman letters of this 1832 inscription are indeed in the high contrast Modern style of Bodoni, and particularly the "fat face" styles of the era, such as Thorowgood.
Of the available digital fonts I suggest that the closest equivalent could perhaps be Sybarite of 1829

Suggested font: Sybarite



You can replicate with ITC Century Std Cond Book, a digital version of a popular design with a range of weights and widths that was widely used since circa 1900
Larger scale images of the old logo lettering are readily available on-line,

Custom variation of French Clarendon -- a Clarendon with reverse emphasis, i.e. the horizontal strokes are thicker than the vertical ones.
French Clarendon Expanded could be edited to make an approximation by horizontally expanding the counters.

Similar, particularly if adjusted to make a more monoline version

Neo Contact would be close if you lightened the vertical strokes by widening the counters etc to make a more monoline version.

Louize Italic is almost a match for "merican"
Stretch the width of the characters and clip the top serif on _i_, and most people would not notice the differences.
