This complete glass jar was recovered during excavations in 2014 of the Adair cabin site, home of Reverend Samuel and Florella Brown Adair and their family, in Osawatomie, Kansas. Osawatomie and the Adairs were much involved with the abolitionist movement during the "Bleeding Kansas" years. While the jar has several cracks, the advertising is still readable: TRADE MARK VASELINE CHESEBROUGH NEW YORK. The machine made jar has a continuous thread closure with a sealing ring.
