I am making a resist to etch new brass plates.  I have created the logo, I need to create the text.  This is from a machine made in the US in 1944-1946.  This is from a photo that I took.

I am looking for a digital font, preferably free.

Thank you for your help

Sorry, but type on machinery dials and plates, especially during this era, were usually hand lettered or created with lettering templates—not with type used for printing (not finding a match).

Tactic Sans Bold is similar.
