For HIGH LIFE, LHF Boston Truckstyle is close, particularly if the vertical strokes are made less bold, but is NOT THE FONT.

Suggested font: LHF Boston Truckstyle

By his own admission, that is precisely what he did. We used to call the resulting fonts "Dieterized."

"Dieterized" the term.

Some of letters have similarities to Washington Bold -- but Washington is NOT THE FONT

Suggested font: Washington Bold

Jackie, I had forgotten this. You are correct. Thanks for picking it up.

I made similar comments on the Typophile ID board -- back when it was thriving in 2014:

At the time I expressed concerns about the Steffmann digitization called Verve.

This time around I will fall back to the position that if Dafont hosts a font it can be identified as a match.

Perhaps at some stage the Dafont managers will review the status of the Steffmann fonts.
My point by point examination of a number of these has shown that they are cloned from digital fonts created by others and differ only in that there is a more extensive character set.

Registered trademark.
Hudson NY is similar, but there are minor differences.

Note that the Hoefler webpage for Numbers Greenback says:

"Hoefler & Co. has refrained from giving Greenback a companion alphabet, to avoid tempting would-be counterfeiters…"

With only three letters to go from -- using your image, I do not have any US currency at hand -- you might be able to create an approximate substitute using a monospaced DIN with a serifed I.

Suggested font: DIN Mono

The details of Sulphur Springs NF could make it a fair match if was edited to remove the stencil effect and the width was compressed.

Suggested font: Sulphur Springs



The sign lettering is derived from a style called Concave that was popular in the second half of the 19th century.
There were quite a few variations, some with medial spurs, and included several condensed widths.
There are several digital versions of Concave, including Arched Gothic Condensed, that could be used to recreate a similar appearance as the sign.

Suggested font: Arched Gothic Condensed

SUN is custom lettering.

and a recent reproduction, which is the clearest rendition of the label -- ignore the additional logos and copyright text.

Possibly a film type era version of Gill Sans Condensed for THATS ALL RIGHT ELVIS PRESLEY
Make the digital font's letters a little thicker and it works for a recreation of the label.

Suggested font: Gill Sans Condensed

A lightweight version of Erich Meyer's Tannenberg of 1933-35, with some editing.
A free digital version is available at Dafont as Blankenburg.

Or, possibly, custom lettering in the style of Tannenberg.

Suggested font: Blankenburg

Agfa produced a lighter version of Miehle Condensed that is a closer match, but there is currently no legitimate download that I can locate. Formerly sold by Linotype and Fonts.com

There is a heavier digital version of Miehle that could be used as a substitute

Suggested font: Miehle Classic
