Scott stamp album font from late 19th century

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I'm researching the history of stamp albums and would like to know which font the Scott Publishing Company used for its postage stamp albums in the late 19th/early 20th century. Attached is an image from one of their album pages. De Vinne seems to be a close match, but would love to hear what others have to say. Thanks!

Thanks! Very helpful.

Regarding the secondary type, here's another example. Would be great to ID this one, too!
