Help with this font please

[Corey Schultz]

Can anyone tell me what the name of this font is? (Last name only)  I think it may be hand cut.

Thanks,

Corey

Hi Corey, this is an old lettering style from the Delano Granite Works in Delano Minnesota, which later became Rembrandt Memorials and has since been closed down. They were at one time the largest memorial maker in the country, or so they claimed.

Their lead designer, C.E. Dunn, created several alphabets exclusive to the company that were made into metal, glass, and plastic alphabets. This style was often also used for raised polished letters as in the attached example.

Fortunately, I have a rubbing of one of the glass alphabets. If you would like help matching the lettering on this memorial, feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
