T'ain't it purty? Too bad I have no idea what font it is.

Could be lettered by hand.

How old is the sample? It seems pre-digital. First font I think of is Tourist Gothic, but it doesn't have the DINesque 'O'.

Has kind of a WPA-era poster feel.

You can get really close by combining different variations of Chalet Comprimé Cologne.

I'm sure it's not hand-lettered. I think I'll be picking up Chalet Comprimé Cologne this weekend.
