vintage trade fonts

Hi,

Any assistance helping to ID any of the following would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm looking for resources for any vintage fonts similar to what is shown below (workwear, trades, construction, union made, craftsmanship, tools, etc).

There are several here so assistance with any would be great!

UNIONMADE, headline and all copy

BAT MFG, Handmade & Approved

CARUSO, headline and all copy

SACKWEAR, headline

SACKWEAR, headline and all copy

Thanks!

Josh

|UNION MADE| is Archive Tilt:

The other type is too small to positively ID, by may be Wearetrippin Display:

2.
Again, awfully small and low-res sample. |SOLID| resembles Haymaker, though not an exact match to the |S|:

|HANDMADE| etc. could be one of these:

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/hypatia-sans-pro/

Something from Harold's Monograms may help you recreate|BAT| and |MFG|:

|CARUSO| appears to be Corki Tuscan:

|Since 1978| appears to be the free Google web font Damion:

Rest of the type may be another Google font, PT Sans:

Too low res.

5.
The sans serif small type appears to be Neutraface 2 Condensed Bold:

|SACKWEAR| shares its inspiration with Corki Tuscan above, and is likely custom. Found only one vaguely similar:

Thanks so much for your time and assistance. Very much appreciated! This is perfect.

A variety of vintage trade labels have inspired font makers to post their work at Creative Market https://creativemarket.com/search/fonts?q=labels I trust you will find some that match your interests.

Thanks, Don.
