standard jokers of  "Assn. of American Playing Card Manufacturers", 1939-1940s
printed by "Brown&Bigelow", "USPCC", "Western Publishing Co."  and may be other printers
(I don't know differences in design of  B&B and WPCo.  images)
NB!!!
Hochman didn't listed this jokers and didn't write any word about this Association. Why?
He had know!
I am monitoring Ebay about 15 years. And I saw a lot of miscomplectations: the same boxes/brands with different printers, stamps with other printers, the same designs of backs and inscriptions ("jokers", indices, etc.). And now I am sure:
"Assn. of American Playing Card Manufacturers" owned by USPCC,
but non announced due to Anti Monopolistic Law (The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914).
Only in 1980s-90s the situation was officially corrected - members of this Association were acquired by USPCC.
