  1. Fun fact: speaking of Bulletin Script No. 2, this font appeared in a Morgan Press catalogue as W-101.

    I wonder if this font got resisted into the phototypesetting era before its digitization? Someone might or may not know.

  2. Yes, this design was revived for phototypesetting. It’s not included in the range of wood and foundry typefaces adopted by Headliners from the Morgan Press Collection. At least it’s not listed in an overview from a 1978 catalog. However, Lettergraphics had a version named Bazaar, presented in their 1969 catalog (see below). It’s already shown in an ad from 1966.

    Photo-Lettering’s Baghdad Spurs (before 1971, probaby 1964) is an interpretation of Page’s No. 112, which is distinguished by little spurs on the baseline.

  3. Oh yeah, Florian — your research really taught me on expanding the history of this Bulletin Script Two that I was waiting for!
