I'm looking for the font from the 1930's Norman Rockwell era Saturday Evening Post which was used in their masthead. Anyone have a name or know where I can find it?
Custom by Guernsey Moore. There's a digital font in the same style called Saturday Morning Toast (Nick Curtis, 2001).
If you are talking about the two-line nameplate that ran the full width of the cover, it was most likely hand-drawn—not a typeface. That particular nameplate actually dates from the very early 1900s and was used for decades.
American Type Founders did release a typeface called Curtis Post in 1902. It was based on Post Oldstyle Roman No. 2, which was the model for hand-lettered headings in the magazine at the time:

There are a few digital “tribute” typefaces:

Another typeface from that era that is very similar is Windsor:

I'm not a fan of the "rugged" style of lettering used in the masthead -- but if you are a fan of distressed and antique lettering styles, your mileage will differ.
I prefer the polished version made by Nick Curtis.
For searchers of authentic versions of the letterhead the I concur in the posted information on Curtis Post of 1902 and Post Oldstyle Roman No. 2.
Every major foundry of circa 1900 produced similar "rugged" rounded letter fonts of similar weight. If there is any interest I will post a list.

Tom Carnase and Ronne Bonder used Post Oldstyle as the basis for ITC Gorilla.
