Hey Chuck. Nice to see another Utahn here. We are dominant on Typophile.
I imagine you plucked this sample from one of Mr. Young's fine books. It's my understanding that these are his own designs and I know of no distributor for his work.
It sure is lovely. I'll reply later with similar scripts, though I doubt anything can match it.

It was designed in the thirtees, but
Freehand 521 does it for me.

Not quite it, but it's nice too.

or something similar. I am trying to look for a 50's farm script or something relating to farms in the 50's.
thanks

Also, Monotype Script Bold is similar in feel, weight and color, if not exactly the same in design.

It's looks like Eclat by Doyald Young
published by Letraset.
I have no url but it shouldn't be that hard to find. check out the Fontek collection.

You are right Stephen. But it must be some kind of variation?

Teacher, you can't leave us hanging.
What's it called?
And yes, Eclat looks like the wide version of
Chuck's sample, (with some modifications).
