Jerry and all,
No one has gotten the correct answer so far.
I have posted some new images of the mystery apple near the top of my disease
update web site at:

This apple was discovered in Virginia in the 1800s. Although I picked Tuesday,
it was slightly overripe and may have been near optimum 2-3 weeks ago. The
color is like a Stayman, and it seems to have more red color than descriptions
of it indicate. I know I have eaten it as ripe when it had much less red color
than this.
Some people don't want me to tell them what it is yet, so I may add some clues as we go along. It does come up with a Google search using its name and "apple" so I'm tying to avoid certain descriptive keywords at this point.

The picture is out of focus and it is hard to see the shape, no basin shots..
for the late season I would guess Baldwin.

Mystery apple? Grown in northern Virginia, courtesy Keith Yoder,
Virginia Tech. Just harvested. Likely an antique variety from the
area. Note the short stem and rather pronounced lenticel spotting.
