Pike County Yellow Tomato
An heirloom from Pike County Kentucky. Its tall vines produce loads of pretty orange fruit that weigh 12-16 ounces and have a delicious flavor! A good producer over a long season, and a favorite of master seed saver Merlyn Neidens.

Yes, I saw that one and what I did was to Google Pike COunty Yellow Tomato and there were several places offering it as I recall, but when I checked the blurbs none of them gave a source or origin, just pretty much what you qouted above.
If they're going to source it to Pike County and the original lister for the variety, Sparks, said it was pink as did Gary Millwood, I do have to wonder about this one.
And unless I can find it listed in the SSE YEarbooks, and I did look at several of them but certainly not all of them that I have, I guess I still think it's not the original PIke County Kentucky Heirloom, for sure b'c of color, but I still wonder about its origin and still wonder if it's not a stabilized cross.
