Bruce’s version, offered by 1882, was Antique No. 310 [Parker 1928] Renamed by ATF around 1897 as Old Style Antique No. 40. Renamed by BB&S by around 1907 as Catalog Old Style.

“In 1901 Bruce Type Foundry brought out Bartlett Oldstyle, based on the small sizes of Bruce’s Antique No. 310, refitted and otherwise improved. The American Type Founders Company thought well of Bartlett Oldstyle and made arrangements with Bruce Type Foundry to sell it to the trade as Bookman Oldstyle. Both faces were cast at the Bruce foundry until that plant moved to Jersey City in 1906. […] At the present time [1928] some of the original Bruce Antique No. 310 matrices are used in casting Bookman Oldstyle.” [Parker 1928]
