It looks like word "Supertone" is stretched and the "Super electrically" and "Sears, Roebuck" letters are altered so they curve, but does does anyone know what fonts are used here? I'm guessing 3-4 different ones. I'm trying to make a similiar design for my buddy's band, but can't find fonts that match perfectly.

This goes back to the time when you couldn't modify fonts as easily as you can now (they were solid pieces of metal!). The only type here is the informational text below the hole. Everything else was hand drawn. The best you could do is find fonts that look similar to the lettering. "SUPERTONE" is similar to Globe Gothic. The line below that is similar to ITC Juanita. The line at the bottom may have been based on Cooper Black.

Wow I never would have thought the whole thing was hand drawn! That would explain some of the uneveness of the designs though. Thanks for the suggestions. You helped me out a lot.
