Avant Guard/Century Gothic/Bauhaus Look-alike, but can't find what it is.

Hi.
I've been asked to redo a logo since the original vector art is lost and the company that designed it has gone under. There are no records as to which font is used.
Please see the logo and the font in question in the top left corner. Key characteristics are the pointed serifs, or tips, and the slanted e.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this will help:

It's Capone, but I was only able to find a lighter weight: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/agfa/atcapone-light/

I bet it is the light, things tend to grow on screen

In this anonymous catalogue:

there are 5 weights

and Capone could fit. (2 lighter weights are on previous page)

That's not anonymous--the name of the company was Face Photosetting, a UK firm. I'm pretty sure it became Faces, which is still operating, and--ah ha!--they carry all weights and styles of Capone.

Thanks a lot Mark! Some pages at the end are missing, so you resolved this mystery.
(BTW there is no Ultra Light at Faces)

I see they also carry Capone at FontHaus.
