Can you identify this sans serif, bold and outlined typeface?
It’s under the label ‘Rears’ which I haven’t been able to locate. My knowledge is basic, so any points in the right direction are much appreciated : ) Thank you, type wizards!

Looks a lot like Comstock — it wasn’t at all uncommon for case labels to simply be a sample of the type set in some other word not the type name.

Comstock! I forgot about that one. Thanks, Bob. In the same case I’ve got a ‘Lester E. Calder’ that looks suspiciously like a Times Roman italic…
