Been trying to track down a huge plum type tomato that I lost the seeds for decades ago.
This pic is the closest I've ever seen to what I am looking for.
It was a huge meaty plum type with only a few seeds 24oz size were common.
Indeterminate and the plants were taller than 6 feet.
That is actually the name of the seed company in europe that has them and not the name of the tomato itself.
So far only amazon had them and I didn't have luck with amazon shipping last time.Plus they want $1 per seed.
I don't feel like gambling.
Maybe it looks familiar to our European brethren?

The largest plum/paste tomato that I am aware of is Pomodoro Cuore Annico di Acqui Terme. It does not have the nipple as yours does. My seed came from Secret Seed Cartel. Below is an image from that website.

Do you happen to know the name of your beautiful tomato?

I don't know the name of the tomato.
It was brought over by Italian immigrants and grown in neighborhoods in the area.
I once tried tracking down a tomato from New Haven but that was a dead end.

pre covid I tried gilberti paste mentioned above but it was a dud.
Only about 10 or 12oz size.
