This came from the only known seller of something called "Bronze Beauty." There is scant information about this variety, except that one old reference used terms like smoky and somber. It is listed as medium, yellow toned blend, bitone or bicolor. No known comparison exists. No pictures have been found. Those on AIS wiki are from this clump or the seller.
The AIS wiki notes are now updated stating this is not what it is purported to be. There are multiple references from old catalogs that support this finding. For one difference the falls should have been called ruby lavender, velvety crimson and reddish lavender which the photo clearly does not exhibit. So this one is a NO-id one, but is being sold as Bronze Beauty.
