Old deep purple variety

Hi. I'm looking for an iris that grew near my childhood home in NY state that could have been planted anytime before 1955. It's shorter than most, under 30 inches. Deep, solid grape all over with a bright gold or yellow beard. 19th century art showing irises usually shows this type, which might even pre-date breeding and be a wild type.
