Looks like it's an older photo display version of Goudy Heavyface Condensed, with swashes added. I'll check and see if it's in any of my old specimen books.
Thanks! I've been looking through everything I can think of and the closest I've come is the Berthold or Goudy family.. didn't know if there was something even closer.. but I think you may be right.

Yeah, you're probably right.
I'm just going to mock it up for some titleing so I'll just use Goudy Heavyface for a base.
Thanks.
