Does anyone know of a good match for the style of this invitation from the 1930's?

The closest match I can fined for this engraved roundhand is Shelley Andante Script.

A bit closer but still no match, Sackers English Script.

Don, when you click the tools icon in MyFonts and then click permalink you get a link with your settings, text and size.

@koeiekat
Thanks I'll try that with my next MyFonts link
Looking at _W_ and _H_, I agree Sackers might be closer.

Wow! Thanks! @donshottype @koeiekat
The closest I had already on my computer was Snell Roundhand, which is looks ok from, about 10 feet away.
I don't do this much, so I really appreciate the help.

Shelley Andante Script is pretty close.
and I agree that Sackers English Script does seem a bit closer.

It's interesting @donshottype, the sample you pointed to (Thanks!) has a different _H_ than the lower-quality sample I provided.
In your sample the _H_ matches Sackers.

I poked around further on myfonts and found the other _H_ shape in Copperplate Script, but I think I'm going with Sackers.

None of them match the _J_ in my sample (and I'm using a _J_), but I'm not worried about. I like the looped _J_ better.
