That description leaves a lot of room -- here are some possibilities:

  http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=2595
  http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=519
  http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/t26/aged/book-worn/

I would suggest browsing the above sites (especially 1001fonts, which seems
to have a lot of "distressed" and freeware fonts), or these:

  http://www.fonts.com
  http://www.fontfinder.ws

It's not easy finding a worn-looking rendering in an old-looking typeface; I
suspect that most designers achieve this with a "normal" font and a little
Photoshop massaging or some such.
