Question First Philco in stores?

This color prototype set brought a question to mind... what was the first Philco color set mass produced and put in stores? Chuck's set shows they were workin on it, but how long was it before they finally did mass produce one?

I skimmed the Sams index trying to find the earliest color schematic for a Philco. Found a chassis model TV123 in Sams 349-9 from '57... a good few years later after Chuck's set was made. Anyone familiar if there was an earlier Philco in stores? The picture on the front of 349-9 was pretty neat looking.
