Here it is:

It isn't Gill sans (the R isn't wide enough), nor Myriad pro. It is an older font, this piece was created in the early 1990s.
 
I think this one might be difficult to pinpoint exactly. I'm getting a few fairly close matches, but it's always the 'R' that isn't quite right :(
 
Here are the 2 I found that are close. The The R is right, the C might need modifying slightly. Being as the source is so low res, I couldn't tell if there were serifs or not so I included the top version also.

Copperplate certainly seems close, I can't decide if I'm seeing serifs or not, which is why I dismissed it when it first came up in my search. (The sans serif copperplate -- I think it's done by Larabie fonts is a newer font and doesn't fit the timeline.)
 
Sweet! Glad to help. At my old job I had to constantly redraw customer's logos from lo-res images, and knew fonts pretty well. I've been out of there several years and don't recognize them quite like I used to.

I have been in Type Development at Adobe for over twenty years, but my area of expertise is not Western type. Although my heritage is not Asian, I specialize in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) type.

Anyway, the C (its terminals), R (its leg), and W (its center portion) are the key letters to focus on when making a match with an existing typeface.

I suggest that you post your image to the Type ID Board of the Typophile Forum. See: Type ID Board | Typophile
 
Got my free prize for helping with the font! These cards look great! Any fans of SOTL that are thinking about ordering a set, do it! Very nice. Thanks Juno.
