1950's style sans serif font

Hey guys,

I have some text here that I scanned from an old film envelope that I like but can't find a match for it. Any ideas?

Thanks,

George

Bernhard Gothic

doesn't look quite right, the tail of the "t" sticks out too much.

I have seen lead type Bernhard Gothic and the pictures seems to match.

If this was printed with metal it is quite possible that they used an alternate character as many typefaces, especially those intended for advertising and/or marketing, had alternates.
