I dimly remembered another thread about early tomatoes, and after a little research found it here:
The thread "extending the tomato season" in Vegetables and Fruit forum

Rick Corey especially had quite a few recommendations for early cold-hardy tomatoes.

I've never tried them so I can't recommend them, but Extreme Bush and Fourth of July are both saladette size reds listed at 50 days by at least one supplier.

I grow 4th of July nearly every year -- but the heirloom Bloody Butcher (which I have grown several times) is very similar in size but invariably starts ripening for me before 4th of July. Bloody Butcher is also thinner skinned. Both have a decent flavor for early tomatoes, in my opinion.
