Can anyone name this serif typeface?
This looks hand lettered, and if it was made anytime before 1960 it probably was. Some of these fonts get close.
You also might like De Soto.
Here's a long video tutorial of how Jeff Finley did this lettering. I don't have time to watch it myself but from his description it sounds as if it is manipulated type rather than 100% custom.

Winner is Jan!
Oops, I’ve forgotten Ivory, though I have it. Good work, Jan!
