    Hello John, this is Monu-Cad’s version of an old plastic stencil press alphabet. The capital ‘A’ and ‘L’ are from Monu-Cad’s “Roman Italic Medium”, while the lowercase is from their version of the font named “Stylish Sandblast 1”. There is also a version of it in Gerber named “Sandblast I ACCT. A.K. REV.B”, though Gerber does not have a version of Monu-Cad’s “Roman Italic Medium”.

    The stencil press alphabet was listed in the PMD Cutrite catalog as “Fancy Roman”, though it is believed to have originally been a Gaspari/PALL Corporation alphabet. However, as of yet a PALL catalog image has not been found. Below is an image of the lowercase from PMD’s catalog. There was also an uppercase and a set of numerals.

    Sorry John, other than the versions mentioned in Monu-Cad and Gerber there are no known purchasable fonts. I do have the rubbings of the stencil press alphabet if you’d like help matching the inscription, feel free to utilize the MLC matching service: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
