I always figure these type of logos are custom - I just can't imagine you could get such a tightly fitting outcome from using a font.

Looks like I just sent e-mail to Steve with the same opinion. I suggested looking at the Letterhead Fonts script collection for something that might be similar. 'Ballpark', 'Ephemera' and 'Royal Script' are in this stylistic vein, in my opinion, if similar would work.

Hand lettering was the most often used method in those days so I would be very surprisewd if it is type. Another current type in that style but with less garnish is Doyald Young's Homerun:

They have this artwork on Brandsoftheworld.com. You can go from there to get it into the shape you want....

Actually, Letterhead Fonts has done this script:
