If anyone is interested in some silent films, I have quite a few. Please let me know, as they are mostly comedies - Chaplin, Mabel Normand, Fatty, etc. I'm not sure what is considered lost, as sadly there is too much, but many I have something?! Let me know.
Here is a list of all the silent film lost media I could find and think of, if any misses, you should look for them in the wiki. However I think that if you have them (not talking tapes or negatives), they might not be lost but hey let's try :
In regard to comedy : A Woman of the Sea, by Charlie Chaplin 1926 Her friend the bandit, by Charlie Chaplin, 1914 The Professor, by Charlie Chaplin, 1919 Hollywood, a lost comedy of 1923 which had cameos of numerous actors, including Arbuckle I think The Gold Diggers, 1923, partially lost Gentlemen prefer blondes, 1928 The Cat's Pajamas, 1926 L'Invalide à la tête de bois (or in english, The Wooden-Headed Veteran), 1908 Humor Risk, a lost Marx Brothers film, 1921
In other categories of silent films: Rough House Rosie, 1927, partially found Anne of Green Gables, 1919 The Patriot, 1928, partially found The Werewolf, 1913 "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin", 1918 Pegeen, 1920 Life Without Soul, 1915 The Actress, 1928 Arirang, 1926 (if you find this one, you'll be a South Korean National Hero, probably) Babe Comes Home, 1927 Graft, 1915-1916 Anders als die Andern (or Different from the Others in english), 1919 Idaho, 1925 Silhouette Fantasies, 1916 The Dream Woman, 1914 Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1916 Tons of George Mélies and Lumière Brothers films And of course, the legendary Cleopatra, from 1917, and tons of others I'm just too bored at this point to write
The best way to know is to see check, one by one, the movies you have until you have one you can't safely and easily find on the internet, then, you know you have one.
There's also Sentimental Tommy, 1921 The Golem, 1915 Saved from the Titanic, 1912 The Forthieth Door, 1923 The Last Egyptian, 1914 The Life of Nephi, 1915, partially found The Divin Woman, 1928
And another comedy, Hats Off, 1927, with Laurel and Hardy

There have been rumors going for years about a complete print of "Der Golem" (1915) but so far there's nothing to back it up. There is actually a YT post (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A0lMPde6q8) that claims to be it but no, this is the 1920 film ""The Golem: How He Came into the World". Only a four minute clip of the 1915 film is known to exist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaWMJNlJQTc).

Sorry, I didn't know that this forum doesn't let me know when I get replies. I'm still kind of new to this. I'm teaching high school and I'm in graduate school. I'll keep digging and let you guys know what I find.
I spoke to people who were descendants of people who knew Charlie and Edna and I asked about A Woman of the Sea, and from what they told me Charlie disliked it and destroyed the only copy of it. However, one person that knew Edna when she was a little girl told me that it might still exist in Chaplin's film vault which is rumored to be in Switzerland. Back when I got heavy into Chaplin in the early 2000's I spoke to Sid a few times, but forgot to ask about Woman of the Sea.
I'll post again as soon as I get a chance to do some digging.
