Default Wanted: Color code for old inductors

SX-25 wrote:
Does anyone have a copy of the color code used on inductors in the 40s
and 50s? I've got a choke that has a green body, first band orange,
second band violet and tolerance band silver. Somewhere around here I
have a copy of it but I am hard pressed to find it even though I've torn
my library apart. I know it is consistent with the old RMA color code for
capacitors but not sure of the nuances.

Thank

Could it be 0.37 uh? That would be using the silver as a multiplier.
Don't know if the body color plays a role here. Seems like most all of
my 60s era chokes have a green body.
