Casino token font - c1930s

Featured Replies

I'm trying to find fonts that have a similar style 'B' as the one that appears in this casino chip mold strike:

It dates back to c1930s and was manufactured in the USA.

I've been browsing fonts.com serif fonts and have seen similar but nothing THAT close. I was hoping that someone could steer me in the direction of fonts with comparable Bs. 

Not too similar fobts I've seen: 

Jimbo Bold Expanded

Modesto Initials

Nacho Heavy

Ginkgo

I've not been able to locate anything that has similar rounded serifs. 

Any tips very welcome! :)

That kind of elliptical overall shape is typical of monograms (example), rather than text typefaces. It can also be found in some Lombardic/medieval inspired fonts (example), but in both cases they often tend to be more decorated.

Ah so I'm likely barking up the wrong tree with a serif hunt! 

Thanks for the tip. Will post new findings here, if I uncover anything (y)
