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).
