Here are the decks of playing cards and jokers that I have identified that am looking for. More generally, I'm interested in (with links to my articles on what I already have):
- Wide Congress decks with either Dundreary or Matching Jokers
- Decks with jokers from the 1800s
- Old jokers (or decks) with Moon Fairy jokers
- The old Congress College decks
- Old Transformation decks
- Old Frankendecks
Specifics:
PU1 TIP-TOP #350, Philadelphia, c1885 - Standard Playing Cards. 1885 Fairy Moon Joker. Joker or full deck. (Here's the picture from Hochman).
Dave,
I saw your post saying that you are sorting through an estate and asking about what decks we might want. Generally, I'd be curious any deck from the 1800s into the early 1900s which has its joker.
More specifically, here are the ones that I have identified that am looking for.

The Congress Matching Jokers (or decks) that I most want:
Chameleon,
Clown,
The Cavalier,
Holland,
Spinning Wheel (facing left, not right).
The Congress College decks or jokers. I already have Yale (but I'd happily buy another one). I'd like Harvard, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Princeton. (I don't know why there's not a Dartmouth and a Columbia since they are are mostly the Ivy League colleges.
Here are some Congress Matching deck variations that I'm seeking.
