Hello all,

If anyone can help with these fonts I would be most grateful. I have looked everywhere and still no luck. I know that details such as lines within the font can be created afterwards.

Please note specimens 2 "PARIS" and 3 "SAVON".

Most of these would've been hand-drawn/engraved. Check out the collection of FontMesa and also www.letterheadfonts.com for nice vintage font designs.
There is also ShowBoat by David Rakowski.

You're hired! The letterhead font site is FANTASTIC! I owe you a beer :-)

After closer inspection, you are quite right about the fonts appearing to be hand drawn and/or engraved.

Again, THANK YOU!
