This is a version of Fifteenth Century by Bernd Nadall for Barnhart Brothers & Spindler 1897 ca..
Renamed Caslon Antique in 1918ca. A note at MyFonts says that

---quote---
Printing historian Alexander Lawson tells us that with its new name the typeface “became the most commonly selected type for reproductions of colonial American printing” and notes its modern popularity “in everything from liquor advertisements to furniture commercials”.
---end quote--

So far I have not found an exact match to this lettering -- it might be relettered -- but any of several versions of Caslon Antique could be used as a very close substitute.


The Black Dog logo dates from 1971

So the lettering is based on a predigital version of Caslon Antique.
