Anybody know this font? / quirky vintage serif for 'Counsellor at Law'

Capt. Yossarian

This is an old font probably 30-40 years old. Any ideas? Thanks.

The W makes me wonder if its hand drawn. Otherwise it resembles Americana somewhat.

Thanks for the help. I've uploaded a better scan. Thanks, again.

Eh, what?

Capt., that is hardly a better scan, but an altogether different sample set in Copperplate.

Oops! Sorry, for the confusion folks! The first one is the one I was trying to identify.

The first sample seems like an old (late 19th- early 20th century) type design. Nick Curtis's Gandy Dancer is not identical, but it has some of the same feel.

Craw Modern is an extended serif that is not an exact match (it has far fewer idiosyncrasies than your sample) but might do in a pinch:
