I'll throw a couple more in here. One of the decks is blue, the other red. Both are monogrammed. The jokers are off by one digit (U147 and U148 I think). I have one IPCC ace and one generic ace. Kinda odd. Both have the multicolor Joker.

Both boxes have color (red and blue) on the lower half, black on top. Notice also the Congress labels.

Here's the NYCCC "Canary" deck.

If this wasn't part of a poker set, what circumstances do you think gave way to the paper wrapper?

I've come across a deck that is wrapped in paper with the appropriately cancelled and dated USIR tax stamp. It's a deck well known from the 1910s. The decks (2 decks (red/blue), one sealed) came with a rack of bakelite chips in a leather/leatherette case. The case has no embossing, labelling, or indicators of any kind. The chips are also featureless.

Did NYCCC ever put out a poker set? That could explain the paper-wrapped decks.
