Shepeard's Hotel luggage label logo

I'd like to use this label as the basis for a poster design for a production of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Nile. Haven't got anything on my machine, had a look through Indentifont and WTF with no joy, so found this site recommended on a blog here http://www.webhostingreviewboards.com/design/5-famous-font-recognition-t... and thought I'd ask, very nicely, if anyone could help. Design is for a penurious amateur drama company, so free would be nice, but not essential...
Thanks in advance
Mike

Good Art Deco lettering, but no exact match as a font.
But for the penurious amateur drama company here are three free substitutes Mouse Deco http://www.dafont.com/mouse-deco.font?text=CARIOEGYPTSHEPARDSHOTEL Market Deco http://www.dafont.com/market-deco.font?text=CARIOEGYPTSHEPARDSHOTEL and Caviar Dreams http://www.dafont.com/caviar-dreams.font?text=CARIOEGYPTSHEPARDSHOTEL

The bold weight of the budget priced Concurso Italian
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/btn/concurso-italian-btn/ would be a better fit, particularly if you expand the width.

I like Storm AbaldA for the top one.

Thanks, all. It's a piece of hand lettering, I guess - going by the variations in the E and S, if nothing else - but I'll give the suggestions a go. In essence, looking for something in and Art Deco stylie that doesn't make people yawn... :)

Polon might give you some of the feel:
