This one has me stumped. My hunch is that it is multiple fonts, which I see people do from time to time. Or perhaps a custom/modified typeface. The majority looks like a version of Times, but the sloped ‘M’ and ‘J’ that drops below the baseline are out of place. There are similar styles of ‘J’ in fonts like and Lucida. If you have any more examples it may be helpful in identifying whether this is an actual typeface or something custom.
Good morning, this is custom lettering, likely based on the old Spacerite Modified Roman alphabet, but with a bit of flair added to create a “Western” or “Tuscan” feel. It was a fairly common practice during the mid-1900s, and I run into it from time to time, though the style of letters always vary a bit.

This is a version of Old English in the Monu-Cad software. It was originally printed in the lettering section of a 1982 book created by the American Monument Association named “Symbols”.
Hello, this is hand drawn lettering. These old hand drawn designs often had custom lettering created by the designer, which was never turned into a physical letterset or digital font.
Hello, the Monu-Cad font “Gumpy” is a redrawn version of the print industry font Goudy Bold. The font in your image is a different version of Goudy named Goudy Old Style.
Good afternoon, this is a font named Times Roman in the Monu-Cad software. There was also a version named Century in the old Craftech software, which contained different punctuation.
It is a version of the Times Extra Bold font, with entirely different numbers and punctuation.
Hi Marc, this is a font in Cochran’s Monumental Designer software named Roman Modified Script. It is based on an old alphabet in a Vermont Marble Company lettering booklet from the 1920s. There are currently no TrueType versions available for purchase.

Good afternoon, this appears to be one of Gerber’s Modified Roman fonts that has been manually “italicized”.
