i picked up this bottle because i just took a liking to it. i don't know much about it and hope someone can enlighten me on it. the only embossing is "joseph campbell company" written in a circle with "camden n.j. usa" in the center of that and "07" inside a large circle on the bottom.
i have seen this refered to as a ketchup bottle but i question this because of the top. to me this type of top is for a soda bottle and doesn't make since for something like ketchup that you would be opening and closing repeatedly. if someone has any info on this bottle or a picture of one with the top i would be greatful. thnaks, john

Hey John, That it is a ketchup bottle is a misconception. it is actually a concentrated soup bottle. Joseph Campbell is the founder of Campbell Soup and foods.

I had one with a label and sold it for $200. There are two versions. The one like your {$20} and a Joseph Campbell and Bro. {$45}

There are condement bottles that are simular to these but predate the crown style top.

Buy the way, tomato ketchup was invented by the Japanese as a sweet fish sauce.

Today was my 1st trip down to Jones Beach/Gilgo Beach on Long Island NY since the superstorm Sandy hit back in October. Found this exact bottle while walking around today. Couldn't make out all the writing on mine until I got home from the sand & seaweed junk inside of it.

Glad I could at least find out some info on it.. I thought it was some kind of little flower vase when I 1st saw it sticking out of the sand..

Happy New Year Warren,

I gotta argue with you on this one. The bottles were ketchup, and the soup went in the cans. Campbell was a giant ketchup maker in the day. Soup, too, just not in bottles.

Have a look Here.

I would love to see a photo of your labelled example, if you still have one. I'm gonna claim foul up in the labeling department, if you do... [8D]

Debi, welcome,

Please do put up a photo of your Jones Beach example.
