Springfield Ceramics and Celluloid

Springfield Ceramics and Celluloid was an American chemicals and manufacturing company founded by Douglass Coe in 1902. The company specialized in the fabrication of electronic components, and was a large producer of early plastics such as celluloid and Bakelite. The company also produced leaded glass for vacuum tube production. For a short time, the company was the largest distributor of tungsten, phosphorus, and barium in the United States.

By 1908, most of the processing being done at the firm was moving to other Coe companies, mainly Coe Electric Company and Coe Electronic Bulb Company, and eventually Coe simply transferred the equipment and personnel to those larger facilities, effectively liquidating SC&C, and the company was dissolved sometime in 1910.
