1932 Burpee Seed Co says about Tangerine Tomato...
"This new main-crop tomato is as outstanding in quality as it is in appearance.  The fruits are large and heavy, measuring 4" in diameter.  The are as deep as they are high and inclined to be somewhat angular.  the thin skin is a beautiful rich orange-the color of a fully ripened tangerine.  The flesh is mellow golden yellow of appetizing appearance.  The flavor is delightful-rich and tasty, of a sub-acid piquancy that stimulates the appetite.  The vines make abundant growth."
