ITC Tiffany and http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/tiffany/ and http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/itc-tiffany/ are about as close a digital fonts go to matching this old metal type. You could expand demi-bold to get a passable match.

Unless Ronaldson (one of Benguiat's influences) had a heavier (Black?) variant ...

AFAIK metal Ronaldson did not have a black weight. But its dramatic swooping serifs were a big influence on type design. ITC Tiffany is only a recent example. Since this is a US headline, there might be something in Matt McGrew's book.
