Wood Type name?
A great many woodtype faces didn't have names, but were identified by number.

At least some are William Page Chromatic [multicolor] fonts dating from around the 1860s and 1870s.
As Nick says, these were usually identified by number. However, in later years some were given names, particularly when metal type versions were released.
Some of these might match your mystery fonts https://www.myfonts.com/person/William_Hamilton_Page/
