The best website on the topic of old Congress decks of cards is by “The Congress Guy”: https://congressplayingcards.com/
That's really interesting as a point. I believe that the modern joker evolved from the game of euchre as the extra card needed for the "Best Bower". Since I don't play euchre, I'm not sure how this ...
On Etsy, there's lots of Elks Memorabilia. I'm now thinking that this pendant might be a custom made one. It might be from Baltimore (where my family was from): https://www.etsy.com/market/elks_memor...
This combination of words produces some similar items in a Google search: "elk club prayer cylinder necklace silver antique" The clock and the elks head are definitely Elk Club symbolism. Could th...
I would think that it would be related to the Elks Club. https://www.elks.org/ I think I'll email them to see what they know...
Thanks. Nice post. I just posted online the casino card portion of my joker playing card collection. http://www.amusedbyjokersami.com/2018/01/advertisements-for-casinos.html

Its funny, such a beautiful vintage deck but the joker is a common contemporary design.
I have a collection of old school desks. http://www.retroedtech.com/2014/11/vintage-school-desks.html
I have bought many many many decks. Some people send me collections. I've done some ebay buys but they tend to have large number of duplicates since often it's 25 jokes for $12, but only a few might b...
Hunter. Glad you like the collection. It has its own blog which has had zero design work which is embarrassing. However, I did get a designer to work with me on a project fulfilling my lifelong ambiti...
Thanks, I had no idea that Collectors Weekly was connected to Quizlet. There's an interesting parallel. http://www.retroedtech.com is connected to http://www.VocabularySpellingCity.com
