Thanks Carolyn, sounds like the tomato market was sort of a "wild west" and in a state of chaos back then! Some might argue it's still that way today..
There's a tomato offered on the site above that looks pretty decent, PL, size and then if the tomato is remotely similar to Brandywine or Bloody Butcher then I'd be happy. I'll buy seeds at the end of the year from them and try it next year.
