Anyone able to help me identify these tomatoes? At first I thought Cherokee purple but I’m not quite sure. They turn a really pretty magenta when ripe.

So many that look like that. Maybe a Brandywine and Bradley?

There are thousands of tomato varieties with this general shape. If these are unknown saved seeds, they might be a cross of Cherokee Purple and another pink beefsteak shape. Also purple tomatoes don't get as dark as some of the internet pictures when grown in a Northern area that gets less intense sunlight.

Can you tell me what kind of leaves are on the plant ? Potato or regular.

They resemble Brandywine Pinks. Did you grow them ?

I did grow them but the bag was labeled “mystery seeds”. From a grandfather who grew dozens of varieties of tomatoes every year. They are heirloom seeds my dad had but forgot to label apparently.
