I really wish it was possible to do - ID a tomato from a picture - because we get so many requests to do it. Unfortunately it isn't. There are simply too many possibilities. Many folks just don't realize the number of tomato varieties there are out there.

Best guess is that it was a stray seed. Or that is a KBX2, a KBX that was crossed since it doesn't appear to be pure potato-leaf and has green shoulders. But KBX was a throwback anyway so throwbacks of it are likely. Otherwise there are lots of red/orange with green shoulder varieties.

Save seeds if you wish and see what happens next year with those seeds. If it remains stable then you can name it whatever you wish. :)

... because I didn't start any red varieties ....

Probably it is not a red variety ( judging from the lower ripe tomato) .

It also looks like some kind of bi-color. or even a brown/purple.

Stray and crossed seeds are other possibilities.

It is possible to narrow it down when you have a few fully ripe ones.

Hey Seyson.

I've had and eaten many ripe ones already it has green shoulders but the tomatoes turn totally red when ripe. I was just taking a shot in the dark to see if anyone had any idea if it looked like something they may have grown or were familiar with. I realize there are many tomato varieties this could be.... I'll post a Photo of one totally ripe which I should have done in the first place...... I'll just save the seed anyway and go from there and see if it grows the same again.

thanks guys...

Alright , Dave. You are absolutely right ; It is a RED tomato, no doubts.

But it is so typical in color and shape like so many beefsteaks.

It resembles BEEF.MASTER Google search images and see how it compares.

Here is a picture that I've got:
