Hi,

Can anyone identify these two metal typefaces? I don't think they are American as they aren't in McGrew's book.

The first one is Perpetua Titling.

The second is Houtsneeletter by A Van der Vossen for Enschedé, 1927. Digitized poorly by Fontbank years ago as Tarzan (and Brendel as Mahogani).

You’re great, Mike, as usual.

Nah. Houtsneeletter is rather, well ... distinctive. See it once and you recognize it later. Nice to see you here, Akira.
