Chill, mate; you came off as quite presumptious. If you have an idea about the face being used, ok, comment on it. But you sure did not sound friendly at all. That tone in your response was uncalled for.

Bzzzt. Wrong. Next contestant.
For starters, copperplate is something entirely different from
Copperplate Gothic. Copperplate is a script style associated with copperplate engraved formal invitations.
However, getting back to the question at hand, the Singer logo predates digital typography. In fact, it probably predates photoengraving. It
most certainly predates Copperplate Gothic, which was designed by F.W.
Goudy in the early 1900s. The original, after being sketched for
approval, was most likely rendered in India ink and then routed, using a pantograph, in steel plates of various sizes to make logotypes that were then reproduced, presumably as stereotypes. The relation to the
font-making process is tenuous at best, with the major point of
convergence being height-to-paper.
