Antique Tuscan One is a font developed by William Page in 1859. It does not include lowercase or figures. The peculiar forms employed in Tuscan fonts, such as the pointed bulges in the approximate center of the face as well as the fish-tail serifs are often included in the designs of this style.

Wooden Type has some very nice renditions of western-style wood-block type faces. You can get some of them here.

I’ve used this typeface on a poster for Los Strait Jackets a couple years ago. I love that designers are reviving these old wood type faces into digital forms.
