Thank You

I think the italic serif is Caslon 224.
The sans looks al ot like Futura.

Thank you Jan

The sans could also be Avant Garde or Neutraface.
If buying Avant Garde, make sure you get a version with the ligatures. Most commercial versions don't have them, but it was pretty much the point of the font as it was first designed. See: http://www.graphic-design.com/Type/Avant/Avant2.html

Do you happen to have a larger sample? The geometric sans-serif looks a bit quirkier than Futura or Avant Garde Gothic: the ‘N’ is extremely narrow, the ‘1’ has a diagonal hook, the zero appears to be a perfect circle (granted, the latter could also be the letter ‘O’).
