Because this is a brand logo you can expect some customization, such as the oval counter of _a_
Looks like they started with a heavy font and condensed the width by perhaps 50 percent.
Here are some substitutes, consisting of fonts with the width at 50 percent

Frutiger UltraBlack


FreeSet Extra Bold [based on Frutiger]


Interval Sans CondBlack


Kyrial Sans CondBlack


Myriad CondBlack

Also a free version here at Dafont

Hand-lettered from the era.
Closest _R_ is in Eckhardt Titling JNL
Also look at Eckhardt Sans JNL

As well as Futura Medium

The hairline didone with the unique ball terminal _C_

I don't know if this is lettering or an available font, but it is derived from the bold weight of Robert Wiebking's Engravers Roman

On second thought Akzidenz-Grotesk Bold http://myfonts.us/td-stik45 is almost certainly the source for something called _Agust D_
Echte Deutsche

I enhanced the lettering so it looks like this

looks sort of familiar but I haven't been able to find a match

Custom nameplate logo, apparently with no matching font, but derived from Clarendon Black

I don't see an exact match for all of the letters.
According to their website
http://home.cfmiami.com/
they have a toll free number 1-800-877-4065
It is possible they would provide some info on the making of the logo.
Several similar fonts including Handel Gothic and CA Aircona. They are NOT THE FONT

I choose Basic Commercial Black over Akzidenz-Grotesk Bold but as far as I can see these letters are the same in both fonts.
See for yourself http://myfonts.us/td-stik45

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

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.
