An ex-IBMer showed me what he claimed was one, certainly it had the (old)
IBM logo etc. and was expensively printed. It was from the early 50's
though. 

Other than that I have heard the same stories, but never had anyone who
was working for IBM admit to it nor have I seen any other evidence.

Probably apocryphal (a story just TOO good to die), but still interesting.
