These milk bottles bases were recovered from the Kaw Mission State Historic Site in 2018 during the Kansas Archeology Training Program field school. They were manufactured by the Thatcher Glass Manufacturing Company. The Mission was built over the winter of 1850 - 1851 by the Methodist Episcopal Church South as a school for boys in the Kaw (or Kansa) tribe. The site was acquired by the state of Kansas in 1951 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
