A typographical specimen booklet containing borders and ornaments for casting on the Lanston Monotype Composition Caster, Lanston Monotype Type-Caster, Lanston Monotype Giant Caster and Monotype-Thompson Type-Caster. This booklet is from a Lanston Monotype specimen book (binder) bearing the general title "Monotype Type Faces." It is undated, but based on internal evidence elsewhere in the binder it is from the late 1930s or early 1940s.

Jason,

6M434N I would agree with about the Holsum Bread.

Now, the 6 Pt. 635N; Also, 6M635N is close, but....and leaves me with one question of course......with the also in the reference, was what was the variable between designs?

I apologize, but I was told these were made in the 1970's by the dealer (told doesn't mean he made them) and the one on the back of the "1921" still looks like the design of a disco floor or even some coffee tables from the 1970's which may have been the inspiration for the design.
