For Kölnisches Wasser: Heraut is it, but it only has a untwisted alternate W similar to the sample. A couple of other similar digitizations lack the exact W.
OK: the original, pre-digital name for this type seems to be MGB Patrician. One digitization, by Dieter Steffmann, is called Verve, and I believe is free. You need to set your sample in lowercase (springfield) to get your sample.
This is for Feliz Aniversario. And to get that f in feliz, you need to set it wilh a capital F.
Set the text as MADres to obtain the sample.
A little vertical stretch would need to be added to get an exact match, I believe.
And the little biblical references on the cover are in TF-Handwriting. Set it in lowercase to get the match (e.g. 2 corinthians 5:17).
I _think_ the rest of the title is in Neue Helvetica Pro Condensed, bold weight. We'll see who agrees.
The gothic blackletter type (S N D O E) is in Amador
“Popped” style, as Ms. Geswein calls it.
Christensen Brothers and General Engineering Inc. appear to be Serpentine Pro Bold Oblique, with some added obliquing (slanting).

Medium weight, I posit. With some designer-added rounding.
