Does anyone know of a currently available typeface/font that would be as  
close as possible to the following old-style fonts:
 
1. Number font used for serial numbers on older Kimball and/or  
Conover-Cable pianos (it must be a Chicago thing ) and the like, where the  numbers are 
quite bold and the arm/leg terminates in a ball-shape, such as on  the top 
left arm of a "2" or the top left arm and bottom left leg of a "3". Some  
times the serial number will be stamped into a thin metal sheet which shows  
through an opening in the plate.
 
2. Letter font for fallboard logos as used on many older  instruments such 
as Chickering, J. & C. Fischer, Haines Bros. and many  others. They're not 
quite Old English and each initial and first letter of each  word in the name 
is an ornate capital letter. They are quite calligraphic.
 
I KNOW that decals are available - I don't want decals. I want the name of  
the fonts used to create the letters and numbers.
 
Thanks.
