specifically looking for a lower case 'g' - the old curly kind that has 2 hoops connected by a line and a serif on top. the look could be branding iron like, have subtly distorted or "weathered" edges, old rough typeset, have an old English old American pioneer kinda look. I'm pretty open to many things, just trying to capture that old 100 year old feeling.

Appreciate any help - thanks!

i'm not very good in US history, but i think there's something weird...
anyway, a picture might help us to know wht you're talking about.
