This fragmented drinking glass was likely a promotional item that once held peanut butter. The glass is encircled with branding marks below western scenes. The glass depicts a cowboy in chaps with an empty plate next to a cook and camp fire. Behind the cook is a wagon and partial cactus, presumably the chuck wagon. The site, a farmstead and out buildings in Chase County, was excavated in 1980 by an Emporia State University field school and the artifacts were donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2005.
