I've been all over the net trying to determine the font for the title of the 60s show The Big Valley.  Hoping to use it to do a mock-up for a birthday invitation. 

Can anyone help?

This title card was created at a time (1965) when studios, both film and TV, still employed lettering artists for such projects. Clarendon-style letter forms, for the most part.

Similar for BIG VALLEY: Cheltenaham Bold Extra Condensed, Hackensack.


The ultra weight of Cheltenham could work for THE, or you could horizontally stretch and vertically compress Hackensack to match the proportions of your sample.
