Good evening, this is a font based on either English 111 Vivace, or Shelley Script Allegro. These are two print industry fonts that have the same basic letter shapes. However, what you have there is a bit bolder, so it has either been modified by the engraver, or is another version of one of the two fonts, perhaps in some monument design or sign making software.
Hello CJ, this is a version of Modified Roman Raised. Unfortunately, I am not sure of the exact version. In the image it appears that there is a gap in the 9 where it would normally connect back in on itself and I am not aware of any versions of the font, either digital or any old plastic alphabets that have this feature.
The closest font I am aware of is this one, available here in the shop, but it will likely take some modifications to match what you have there exactly: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-cutrite-modified-roman-raised/

Hello Les, this is all custom hand drawn lettering. If you would like help matching it feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Ben, this is custom lettering. During the 1960s (and even maybe a little earlier), this style was promoted by some designers like Robert Young as a “Modified” or “Free Style” Classic Roman, and was influenced by memorial lettering used in Germany and Europe.
Let me know if you would like help matching it and would like to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Andy, this is Monu-Cad’s “Helvetica Light”, which is a re-drawn version of Helvetica Bold that has been squeezed to be a condensed version of the font.
Feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service if you would like help matching it.
Hello, this looks like custom Old English lettering. Reach out if you would like to use the Inscription Matching Service to match this lettering.
Hi Marc, this is Script MT/Monotype Script, but it looks like it was skewed to give it a little bit of an extra lean to it.
Hello, this is a Cochran’s software font called Roman Modified Script. It is based on lettering from an old 1923 Vermont Marble Company booklet named Lettering in Marble.
There are currently no TTF versions available. If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
I believe this is Monu-Cad’s version of the Palatino font family, which they re-drew a bit thicker and re-named to Palatine.
Hi Eric, this font is named Academy Engraved. It’s possible someone added a slight stroke to thicken it up a bit for better sandblasting.
