Chapter 6 - Andrew Dougherty

AD17a - pre-dating AD17 - Hochman mentions this deck coming with the clown joker of AD12, but does not mention that it can also come with an AD15 joker. So we can add the joker below to AD17a.

AD15c - Dougherty Indicator No. 50 - c1900 - This Ace has "New York" moved up to the banner replacing "Manufacturer" and leaving No. 50 all by its lonesome underneath the ace. Similar to other variations in Hochman, but this variation for Indicator No. 50 was not previously listed.

While Dougherty bought the location at Centre Street in 1871, he didn't move in until 1874 (https://books.google.com/books?id=6P9f2nE1JoIC&vq=Dougherty&hl=de&pg=PA302#v=snippet&q=Dougherty%20centre&f=false) due to the need for extensive renovations. AD7 was produced at Beekman Street. Its little joker card has an inscription dating it to 1872 (http://a.trionfi.eu/WWPCM/decks03/d01799/d01799j02fr.jpg). AD8, AD10, and AD12b could not have been made before the move and must be re-dated from '74 onward. The Best Bower card seen in AD8 is mentioned to pre-date the little joker, so it must have been created at Beekman sometime before '72.
