Well, Albert, I have some paint codes. These are for variations on the Spider 
in that time frame. Perhaps you can sort through which to select from. This 
info comes from earlier posts, so it is as accurate as the folks who posted 
it last time.

Farina white       Ditzler code 8331         Pre-1962 1300 spiders
Indian ivory        Ditzler code 81472       1300/1600 and 2000/2600 spiders
Gardenia white   Ditzler code 8382         All models 

FWIW
