History
- Old commercial variety, released by A. W. Livingston's in 1893.
- It is presumed to be extinct. However, Toni Randall found the Buckeye State seeds at Harvest Moon Seeds in 2008, bought it and shared the seeds with Carolyn Male, who, in turn, sent these seeds to Victory Seed Company . Victory Seed Company was unable to trace its pedigree to Livingston's, but confirmed that this tomato fit the description very well. Harvest Moon company is no longer in business.
