Reply to "Ives 3236r set in white?"

I had heard of such sets in white, but never saw one.  Rumor has it that they were painted white for an Ives dealer that wanted white sets to sell in his store, that were less money than the original 3243 white sets.  Just a rumor of course.  The set you have pictured is almost impossible to tell due to the extreme amount of paint loss.
