Not certain if this is a font or lettering.
Futura Display Compressed has a similar weight, height to width ratio, and similar shapes for most of the letters, but lacks the tiny Copperplate Gothic style serifs.
Carattere suggerito: Futura Display Compress

Good find Jersygirl!
Further info from Mac McGrew, author of American Metal Typefaces of the 20th Century:
---start quote---
Hess Neobold was designed by Sol Hess for Monotype in 1934. It is a narrow, bold, and very squarish gothic with small serifs, designed for attention-getting display in a style of the day, but never made in more than one size. Compare Airport Tourist (Futura Display), Othello.
---end quote--
So, designed by a master type designer
