Hi,

Can anyone identify the type or know one that is similar to what is used for for The Christian Moerlein Brewing Co.

The image is from the late 1800's.

Is something from Letterhead Fonts the most likely?

Thanks!

This is from the days when men drew letters custom to their use. In other words, not a font.

Okay. Thanks. Any ideas on where I might find something that's a modern day version?

I don't have a perfect match for this one but some good alternatives (mainly from LetterHead Fonts): Antique Shop, Big Shop, Chapman, English Rose, Chateau, Classic Caps, Confection, Avalon, Quaker, Western Rose, Shopfront, Signmaker, Goodfellow, Victorian Swash, fonts tagged "Victorian" at MyFonts
