    Hi Alex -

    Thanks for sharing the vintage stuff. Found a typeface here that I need to re-create an old piece. If you have a full specimen for Shanghai 2700 2n that would be awesome. Otherwise, I can extract some of what I need from your jpg. Missing letters I need are C I K U Z.

    Appreciate your time.

    - Scott
