Presumably arts & crafts fonts used on Boy Scout patches from New York state

Featured Replies

These are pics of Boy Scout patches from Ebay. The patches originated from a group somewhere in New York state. There are several similar fonts that I would really like to ID to use for another project. I think there are four slightly different fonts used here. The "Onteroraus Lodge" portion is what I am interested in. I assume these are arts & crafts style but my Google searches have come up empty handed. I have also tried to track the patch manufacturer down and not had any luck. Any help would be appreciated and I am sorry that I can't give much more info - I just don't have it!

Unfortunately, the stitching process generalizes letter shapes and obliterates details.

The only one I can identify are the letters (not the numbers) of the second patch—that is set in Pinto Bold. Here is a bit about the typeface's history.

Do you have any idea where I can find this font (Pinto Bold) at? I can only track down the inline version of Pinto.
