I found a number of similar typefaces; however, one of three characteristics was always different: 1) oversized, closed descender on the lc “g”; 2) open (rather than closed top of the lc “o”); or the 3) serif(s) on uc “U”.
I believe the most unique mark to help you identify this font would be to find the typeface with the same “ss” ligature. Of course, if it is not a ligature and the designer “rubbed out” part of the stroke on the second “s”, my theory is pretty thin.

hat was a photolettering face called Lilac Script, including one of the three alternate s’s. I’ve never seen a digital version. Stephen’s suggestion of Freehand 575 - Bitstreams version of another photolettering face, Jefferson Script - is about as close as you are likely to get digitally.

Very similar to Freehand 575 and House Script.
