A 1930s advertisement for the Gilbert Kaster Kit, with which one could cast various different types of metal figures.

The top line combines what appears to be Gothic Condensed No. 529 (or No. 521) with Modern Gothic Condensed and Condensed Gothic No. 10. The geometric sans used for the body text is Kabel (which was copied and expanded by Monotype as Sans Serif). The script used for “Pour”, “Slush”, and “Presto” is likely hand-lettered.
