Buffalo Brick from the Quindaro Site, 14WY314
Date: 1902-1966
This brick, with the word "Buffalo" molded on one side, was recovered from excavations at the Quindaro Townsite, an archaeological district now part of Kansas City, KS. The Buffalo Brick plant of Buffalo, Kansas, was in operation from 1901 to 1966, though they did not begin to manufacture bricks until 1902. As these dates are somewhat later in Quindaro's history it may be that the brick was part of a dumping episode.

Ceramic Pipe from the Quindaro Site, 14WY314
Date: 1850-1859
This ceramic pipe was recovered during excavations at the Quindaro townsite in 1986. It was first associated with a feature at the site that was discovered to be a late 19th to early 20th century farmstead. However, as it was recovered deeply buried in a trench the Archaeologist determined that it dated from the 1850s. The pipe has a faint mark, perhaps a maker's mark, on either side of the stem. A small amount of charcoal-like residue is at the base of the pipe bowl's interior, though there are no other signs that it had been smoked.

Child's Cup from Quindaro, 14WY314
Date: 1857-1863
This child's cup was recovered from excavations at the Quindaro Townsite in Wyandotte County.

Though the cup is missing a handle and several key words from the verse, enough remains to conjecture it was a religious poem for the month of April.

McDonald's Pharmacy Bottle from Quindaro, 14WY314
Date: 1894-1911
This clear glass bottle was recovered from excavations at the Quindaro Townsite in Wyandotte County. The bottle's embossed lettering proclaims it once came from McDonald's Pharmacy located on Independence and Prospect Aves (Kansas City, Kansas) and once held medicine or pharmaceuticals. More telling are the bottle maker's marks on the bottom of the bottle. There the lettering is DF & CO surrounded by rays. This helps Archeologist's to identify that the bottle was made by wholesale house for druggists' ware of Dean, Foster & Co between 1894 and 1911, post dating the occupation at Quindaro (1857-1863).

W and A Gilbey Bottle from Quindaro, 14WY314
Date: 1935-1964
This gin bottle was recovered from excavations at the Quindaro Townsite, an archaeological district now part of Kansas City, KS. As the townsite dates from 1857 to 1863 this bottle was likely part of a later dumping episode. Walter and Alfred Gilbey were distillers in London, England. As their gin was widely counterfeited during prohibition they sand blasted three sides of their gin bottles to make them distinctive. The diamond shaped area would have held a paper label. On the clear side is embossed "FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR REUSE OF THIS BOTTLE FULL 1/2 PINT W & A GILBEY LTD." The aluminum screw on cap repeats the Gilbey name.
