Nobody knows how it got its name, apparently.

And according to this, http://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcor... there is also a tomato called 'Charlie's Radiator Shop Mortgage LIfter' :

" ‘Charlie's Radiator Shop Mortgage Lifter', which is an open-pollenated, meaty variety that Charlie Byles of West Virginia bred in the Depression. He sold plants at a dollar each and paid off his shop mortgage of $6,000. It is still an heirloom favorite that is sold today by most seed catalogues with the shorter name of ‘Mortgage Lifter'. "

Have to look for some seeds of that one!

Green Grin!
