I'd like help with identifying this font please

It's the font that Bonhams use for their name. You can see it here in
the top left hand corner.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

1. Please help me identify a 1950's style font (sample attached)

This was lifted out a period movie. Its a photoshop composite of a store front
sign of a European AMERICAN EXPRESS office (c.1957). I've seen this font in
front of old municipal buildings.

Notice (see link to jpg) the font has:
- a low horizontal bar for the A
- a straight looking M like helvetica
- a C like futura
- an S like futura or avant garde (? not sure which)
- Most of all - a "Deco" like P and R (short legs)
- a unique E, as well

Copy and check out this link for jpg of AMEX sign:

If it's identifiable - is it available anywhere as a win98 typeface?

Thanks,

Chris Howe
