Don't know this one. Some letters reminds me of Plantin Italic (mainly /N). Don will surely have something to say more interesting than me on this topic.
For the time being, here are some alternatives, far from matching unfortunately: Worchester EF, Aviano Flare, TC Kingsley RR, Hess Old Style RR, Goudy 38 RR, Chelsea RR
Hi Ryuk, you put me on the spot:)
Anyway the lettering of "TURKISH & AMERICAN BLEND" is in the style of the rounded serif approach style that was popular circa 1900. Not certain if they were in a font or just artwork. Something fairly close is captured in the italic of Jeff Levine's Lamp Post, a smoothed version of Post Old Style

Hi Mike. Camel's doctor endorsement campaign was matched by other tobacco companies. This is almost as perverse as the advertising claiming radioactive salts were a feel good treatment for aches and pains. Or when you could stick your feet in an x-ray machine in a shoe store to check the fit. Or the nifty radium coated hands on watches so you could see them glow in the dark. Anyway, enough rant for today.

Has anyone ever wondered if the marketing genius behind Camel cigarettes considered naming them Dromedary cigarettes? Or change the picture and call them Bactrian cigarettes? Would they have sold as well?
Would YOU walk a mile for a Dromedary? Or a Bactrian? Maybe not...
