The attached image shows the letters EF circled in yellow. Fender Amplifiers used to use this font when they put date stamps onto their amplifiers in the 1950s and 1960s. Does anyone have an idea of what font it is? Most appreciated :-)

it looks like a rubberstamp of Romana Bold - that got extended and heavied up in the imprint.

It just dawned on me - Harold Loehner had a font that may match up. It’s like a rubber stamp Romana...
