Tobacco box
Small carboard box containing rolled tobacco. Colonel James C. Hughes acquired this box of tobacco while being held as a Prisoner of War (POW) by the Japanese during World War II. Born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1888, Hughes served in the Mexican Border Conflict, World War I, and World War II. In 1942, he was captured by the Japanese on the Bataan peninsula and spent the next 41 months in various Japanese POW camps. Hughes spent time in two camps located in Taiwan (Karenko and Shirakawa). The mark on the lid of the box indicates that this tobacco was supplied by the Monopoly Bureau of Formosa (Taiwan). Hughes most likely acquired it during his incarceration in that country. In 1945, Hughes was liberated by Russian forces at Camp Hoten, Manchuria. Hughes died in 1964 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Bottle Stopper from Quindaro
This fancy glass bottle stopper would have closed a decanter of wine or liquor. It was recovered from the Quindaro townsite in Wyandotte County. The brief occupation of the site and the rapid sealing of archeological deposits help today's Archeologists to see a "snapshot in time" of Quindaro.

Whiteware Plates from Quindaro
These two plain whiteware dishes were recovered from excavations at Quindaro in Wyandotte County. Archeologists found the pieces widely seperated and reconstructed the plates. The dinner plate was actually quite well traveled, as it was manufactured in England for and imported by E. A. and S. R. Filley of St. Louis, Missouri. We know this from their maker's mark, which was printed on the back side of the dish.
