One of the many artifacts found while excavating for the Kitting Terminal was a Baker’s Flavoring Extract bottle, which was probably discarded sometime around 1900. Its manufacturer, the Baker Extract Company, was established in 1879 by Maurice Baker in Portland, Maine, and incorporated ingredients from around the world, such as Madagascar and Mexico. Their products gained popularity due to the coupons included in their boxes, which could be redeemed for items ranging from household supplies to children’s games.
