Hi Typophiles -
Looking to identify the font used in Old Heinz Tin label - the OX TAIL SOUP typeface - I've looked at Copperplate, Penumbra, Miehle, Symbol, can't quite get it right...
Any suggestions from the sleuths would be much appreciated!

Discussed here a few years ago, albeit about more current packaging:

Consensus seems to be that a proprietary face called TK Super Duper-BG2 is used, which was based on historical precedents like your label sample.
Your sample is pretty small, but even when I sought out bigger samples from the same era, I didn't get any exact digital matches.
In addition to LHF Hensler, mentioned in the post above, here are a few others that might work (and, yes, I've included some Copperplates):
