Above is a thread from 2009 where Rutgers was discussed in depth, if you will.

I listed in one of the posts the various strains that can be found in the SSE YEarbooks and I've not seen one IDed to Purdue, but at Tania's website I found the following:

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Rutgers

The description of the one from Indiana is from the 1958 Gleckler Seed catalog.

Adam Gleckler has continued in his grandfather and father's footsteps and a few years ago restarted the company.

If you go to the Seed and Plant Source Forum here you'll find a link to Gleckler Seedmen and you can contact Adam that way, which right now is better than sending him a PM, his user name here is Farmall, b'c this is THE busy time of the year for him in terms of processing tomato seed and he also works full time for the family concrete business.

IS there a chance that they still have very old seeds of the Indiana one? I have no idea but it wouldn't hurt to ask. But you may not get an answer ASAP b'c it is so busy now, and Adam's father does help him from time to time, so he might remember better what OLD seeds they might still have.

Best I can do.
