Sans Serif with filled outine ID needed.

I’ve been through the few books I have and checked sources online looking for this one. Keeps coming close but no cigar. - I almost recognize the Q but my brain is currently burping. Thanks in advance - Paul - prying1 -

Comstock?

Sure looks like Comstock to me too. But I don’t remember what the Q looks like and I’m away from my reference stuff. Sorry.

Comstock it is. First introduced by the Inland Type Foundry in 1902. The design was sponsored by A.H. Comstock of Omaha, NE. It was revived by ATF in 1957.

Thanks Dave Robinson, AdLibPress and FoolProof546. Apparently it was never digitized. I always wonder why some fonts were simply forgotten when digitization came in. This one looks pretty nice. -

I have the PDF version of 1912 ATF Specimens of Printing Type ( - http://www.archive.org/details/specimensofprint00amerrich - ) and it shows it on page 780/794 but with the searchable PDF version one still needs to have a clue on the name or else click through 1300 plus pages. - Thanks again!
