The typeface looks like Bodoni Bold, but we need to know the point size to identify the “font” (remember, in metal type, a font is a specific size of a specific typeface).
Identifont will identify it as Bodoni if you’re very careful about answering the questions either correctly or as “not sure.” (One slip up on how the W top serifs are connected, however, led to a completely different typeface.)
The W may have screwed me up. The top serifs appear to be all connected. It is 24 pt. Also, this set of type came out of a Hamilton cabinet that the previoius owner says he has had for at least 40 years. Are we still thinking Bodoni Bold.

Thanks Dave,
