Thank you to all of you with contributions on the Summer Scarlet apple. I sent Richard Fahey a big pile of printouts that should either help or confuse the heck out of him. Maybe it will spur him to try the modern world.

Richard may want to look into the history of Pearmains.  Its seems that there was a Summer Scarlet Pearmain, the oldest account I can find is 1849 as follows:
 
26. Summer Scarlet Pearmain (Bell's Scarlet) English. —
Medium to large, conical, mostly covered with crimson;
flesh stained with red; tender and good. Trees grow
freely, and bear young and abundantly.—Aug. and Sept.
This was in :
THE FRUIT GARDEN,
A TREATISE INTENDED TO EXPLAIN AND ILLUSTRATE THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FRUIT TREES, Published by ALDEN & BEARDSLEY.
 
And more recently, I see the Summer Scarlet Pearmain is listed as a syn to Summer Scarlet in:
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
NOMENCLATURE OF THE APPLE; A CATALOGUE OF THE KNOWN VARIETIES REFERRED
В. Т. GALLOWAY, 1905

Richard actually has the apple, but needs information on the origin.
Maple Valley doesn't have any of that.
