Hi! I am new here. Found your group thru Google. I am trying to find info on a thrift store find. I found a pale lavender/purple bottle with the marking on the bottom: Armours Topnotch Brand Chicago, I was only able to find one mention of it, saying it was a brand of ketchup, no info on when, where, etc. Any info you could supply would be helpful. I will try posting a pic as soon as I find my digital camera, just got finished moving...Thanks Tim

..it sounds like your ketchup bottle might be "sun-colored amethyst" ..originally clear glass which turns purple from exposure to radiation, either from the sun or your local dentist.. looking forward to seeing a pic!

Armour Foods is still in business. Love their potted meat. Your bottle probably held a meat spread for making sandwiches. My mom told me about my aunt making my uncle's lunch sandwiches with meat spread. They didn't have plastic zip lock bags. Check out the link. Probably not too rare though.

Hi Warren, Trying to post a pic, but no luck so far. Couldn't have been meat spread, bottle is approx 9 1/2 inches tall with narrow neck like a soda bottle. Search the Armour websites, etc couldn't find any mention of the topnotch brand

Then it would be rare because I can't find a reference to Armour ketchup. They did do meat sauces. Seen a billion of the Armour jars.
