Origin unknown. A wide, semibold, high-contrast, bracketless slab shown in many US metal foundry catalogs in the mid to late 1800s, sometimes as Antique Extended No. 1, No. 330 (later Bruce), No. 40, or No. 120 (later ATF).

Key traits are a serifed E middle bar and a flat R tail (below 20 point). Not to be confused with the nearly monoline Antique Extended (light) or heavier Antique Extended (Nesbitt) in wood.
