I'm looking to accurately identify the typeface used on this attached 60s Reynolds Wrap packaging. Any idea? Looks like a super compressed cut of Clarendon.
Any idea to the closest digital version of this that we can use/purchase?

Looks like it's based on Egyptian Bold Condensed, probably custom as was normal for product labels/logos at that time. (The lowercase r has definitely been modified.)
Some Clarendon Condensed for you: Consort and BT Clarendon Condensed, Besley Clarendon, Clarendon Condensed Bold, Antique 3, Monotype Clarendon (squooshing it)
