At the Dane County Farmers' Market in Madison, Wisconsin, Weston's Antique Apples sells them for maybe one Saturday in late August. I was lucky to be back this week to attend meetings and am trying to find out if any farmers sell these in the Baltimore/DC area.
For more information:
"The Pears of New York" by U. P. Hedrick published in 1921: https://archive.org/stream/pearsofnewyork00hedrrich#page/n7/mode/2up [Seckel appears starting on page 215.]

Looks alike with Xinjiang(新疆) pear,China.
You can google some relevant images with key words: xinjiang fruit pear
Maybe another English translation of those is Xinjiang Fragrant Pear. But they seem larger than Seckel when I look at photos of them.
Yes, it should be Xinjiang Fragrant Pear (新疆香梨). Thank you for correcting.
