Typesetter signmaker?

Did we have a sign maker here at one time? It's been months since I've seen him around, Clk man?

anyways, What I am looking for is someone to identify a Font for me, and possibly recreate a color cover of a book as it would have come in the 1950's. anyone do that here still?

Speaking of fonts, I love DIN 1451 in stencil. Just sayin' -- the Germans know how to do it right!

I'm trying to Re create this. I know the colors, but I would like to know if it's a special Font or not
