WANTED: Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck Pumpkin

Hi, All
I'm looking for Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck Pumpkin
It's really an old fashioned Butternut Winter Squash.
Here's some info:
(C. moschata) A popular 19th century Pennsylvania variety that is still grown in many Amish communities. Sometimes called "Neck Pumpkin" because of its long, flesh-filled neck. It kind of resembles a giant butternut squash with a very long neck; they can reach 20 lbs in size! The flesh is superb, being deep orange and richly flavored, making it so popular with Amish wives for making their delectable pumpkin pies, butters and other desserts. A favorite of ours and a good keeper.
Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck or just plain "Neck" winter pumpkin (some people call it squash) is an heirloom traditionally used to replace regular pumpkin to make delicious pies and other baked goods.

120 days to maturity

They grow strong and far, are disease resistant, and produce several 10-20 lb fruits per vine

you plant directly in spring or you can throw the seeds in a prepared garden in the fall and start seeing growth in the spring

Or the following:
Summer Squash:
Early Yellow Summer Crookneck (classic open-pollinated crookneck; curved neck; warted; heavy yields)
Early Prolific Straightneck (standard open-pollinated straightneck, light cream color, attractive straight fruit)
Zucchini (Open Pollinated)

Black Beauty (slender, with slight ridges, dark black-green)
Cocozelle (dark green overlaid with light green stripes; long, very slender fruit)
Grey Zucchini
Dark Green Zucchini
cucuzza squash Zucchetta Cucuzzi, Serpent of Sicily or other types!
Vegetable Marrow White Bush (creamy greenish color, oblong shape)
Any interesting summer squash!
