Liberty ATF 511 designed by Willard T. Sniffin in 1927. Also sold as Lotus for Intertype casting.

Thanks!

I really can’t see the crossbar on the cap A very clearly in your photo. IF the crossbar has a little downward loop in it, then this is indeed Liberty, listed as being “designed” by Willard T. Sniffin for ATF in 1927. HOWEVER, if that crossbar is a straight line, then what you have is a font of Bernhard Cursive designed by Lucian Bernhard for the Bauer foundry. The ATF version is pretty much a direct rip-off of the Bauer font and they are almost identicle other than some nuances like the crossbar in the cap A.

You should also be able to tell which is which by checking the pinmark on your font.
