Wood type ID
I am hoping to ID this Wm. Page wood font. The mark on the “A” indicates that it is from c. 1870. The “K” was missing so I drew and carved two new ones, based on the style of the other characters. Hopefully I was not too far off! If anyone could find a specific name or number for this set I would be very appreciative! Thanks,
Jim

It looks like, Roman Extended Light Face, the first face shown in the Page 1888 reprint.

Here is a showing of the Lyons’ specimen, showing an original cap K, as well as the lower-case:
