According to Philip Durham's introduction to the _Killer in the Rain_
collection, three such stories were published while Chandler was alive:

'No Crime in the Mountains', in Antony Boucher, ed., _Great American
Detective Stories_ (1945)

'The Man who liked Dogs', in Joseph T. Shaw, ed., _The Hard Boiled
Omnibus_ (1946)

'Bay City Blues', in _Verdict_ (1953)

Durham notes that these were 'mistakes', published w/o Chandler's
permission.
