This one looks a bit unique to me given the rather unusual font quite noticable in the center line of the characters "A" and "E" having an upward swing. I have been unable to type it because of that unique characteristic. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
(I realize the period after "Wis" looks like a comma, but I believe that to be an ink smudge rather than a typo.)
Thanks. Maybe it is a Type 217 with a font unique to Delavan, Wis.? I do have the TnT album page for that location and it shows a space for a "Delavan 217 Wis." example, but I didn't know if what I had was that variety or not.
It is a type 217. If you look at the 217 in a PSS catalogue you will see a Baltimore, MD. The 'E' at the end of of Baltimore is the same type with the upward swing.
I don't have a PSS catalogue so I was unable to see the example you refer to. I downloaded the PSS styles sheets from the web and interestingly, the Type 217 "Baltimore" in that example does not show the upward swing in the "E".
