I would like to lean on the experts here to see who can ID this font, as you see the sample I have is so poor its almost to hard to digitize. I might be able to do it, but then again, it would be great if I had the font. Please help

The middle bar on the E and the way the cross bar on the H hangs over are both uncommon. The font reminds me of something by Benguiat, and also of a letter face I saw in the "Solo Type Catalog" (by Dan X. Solo, Dover Press), but i can't find my coppy of it right now. I suspect it was hand-drawn.
You could probably recreate it by starting with Century Schoolbook or Belwe, and then modify from there.

Hi Benji. My best guess is that it's Windsor Bold. There have been some modifications done to the individual letters before the distortion was applied. I think if you start with Windsor bold, you won't have too much work to do before you get it looking like the sample that you've posted.
