Recreating 1956 Calendar

[Paul of Chester]

Hello all,
I am recreating a calendar (with 2020 dates) from 1956. It is a gift for my 91 year old mother-in-law. It was the florist she grew up in owned by her father & uncle.
I have reconstructed the entire calendar & ready for printing but I was not able to match the font used on the numbers for the dates and small red "Flowers for a Festive Touch" sentence.
Any help would be great.

Wonderful project. But unfortunately, I cannot identify the typeface for the numerals. What a unique 3.

The month name is using Corvinus, perhaps the Skyline style.
The Flowers for ... text is ParkAvenue

I'll keep looking for the numerals. But I would suggest drawing the 0-9 characters. I could probably roll your drawings into a font in just a little amount of time. It's the drawing that takes the lion's share of work.

Greatness is not borne of "cheap".
