Hello. I'm interested to purchase so,e  as well, if you can send the seed overseas in Italy.
I don't know what "old school" all blue/purple potatoes are, in comparison with the variety that I know here.

But I can tell you what  we are trying to do here :
There is a this very old PARLI potatoes, that grow very very well in high mountain  but nothing compared to the yeld you got from commercial potatoes at lower altitude and a very antocianine rich potato called Negresse, that s red and white, but become violet when cooked that grow at lower altitude.
In theory they flower at the same time, so we were hopying that some crossing will happen.
In reality this year, the flowering time was separated  thanks to increased temperature so we ended up with nothing for sure, and with very few seed as well.  But we will know next year...

I am using some of them to plant Garlic  and Saffron because everybody believe that Garlic must be planted heads up.
At least here ( Italy) there are several of them manufactured locally, with holes ranging from 20 mm to 60 mm

If I can make a suggestion:
Purchase the big ones.
Than it's easy to insert  a smaller pvc pipes in order to deal with the small plant / corms
