It would help to see more caps, but it could be Bembo, from Monotype.

It seems to be some variant of Garamond. Is it Monotype or Foundry cast? U.S. or European? A good look at a Capital Q would be of great help. The hook of the J below the line rules out Bembo.

I cannot seem ti attach my other 2 photos:

The selected file newthree.JPG can not be attached to this post, because the disk quota of 10 MB has been reached.

I agree with some variation of Garamond,
It appears to be monotype.

I will keep trying to add the photos

The cap G and R would indicate Poliphilus; the English Monotype specimen book shows that asterisk for this face, series 170, which would confirm it.

Thank you Darrell. I am trying to find another sample of Poliphilus online as the one that I found is complete match except for the Q in ours.

This would make sense as well because most of the fonts we have come across in this cabinet were English Monotype.

Thank you so much for your help.

This might help.
