GARDENPlants and seeds

Does anyone know where I can find Heirloom seed corn for the variety know as “LIMBER COB?

This is a very tasty variety, that is long and slender. often, 3-4 ears grow on each stalk. The cob is very limber, hence the name. (It makes the best corn cob jelly! When I was a little girl growing up in East Tennessee, my father was able to get this for our garden from an old farmer, who lived in the mountains. Unfortunately, the year my father became ill, he lost his seed corn. I have looked for 10 years for a start. I would truly love to grow this again.
