Kelsey Hayes Wire Wheels - Factory Paint/Pinstripes?

[NealinCA]

I just painted a set of 16" bent spoke Kelseys for one of my projects.



I got to wondering how these wheels were sold as far as paint/color? You see a lot of cream and red original paint wheels out there. Did they come painted from the dealer? I have also seen pinstripes on the rim, on the drop center where the valve stem comes through. A lot of times a double stripe, thick and thin. Was this a dealer applied stripe, or could the be bought that way?

Does anyone have good pics of a Kelsey with pinstripes? I saw an original paint wheel with stripes at a swapmeet recently, should have bought it, or at least have snapped a pic.
