UMC grew from the purchase of two small New England cartridge makers in 1866, with production machinery brought to Bridgeport, Connecticut. Incorporated in 1867, the company later completed its notable shot tower in 1909 and merged with Remington in 1912. This ceramic coffee mug is a considered choice for collectors and history fans who enjoy following the people, places, and milestones behind a familiar industrial name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnion Metallic Cartridge Company, or UMC, grew from a New York sporting goods firm’s purchase of two small New England cartridge makers in 1866. Machinery from Crittenden \u0026amp; Tibbals Manufacturing Company in South Coventry, Connecticut, and C.D. Leet in Springfield, Massachusetts, was moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut. Production began under the name Union Metallic Cartridge \u0026amp; Cap Company; the operation was incorporated as Union Metallic Cartridge Company in September 1867. In February 1909, the company completed a 190-foot shot tower, where molten lead was dropped into cold water to form shot. Schuyler, Hartley \u0026amp; Graham had acquired E. Remington and Sons in 1888 and formed Remington Arms as its firearms-manufacturing arm. Remington and UMC merged in 1912, making Bridgeport the corporate headquarters, while firearms production remained in Ilion, New York. The Bridgeport complex became a major arms supplier during World War I. Ammunition production there continued until 1970, when a new factory opened in Lonoke, Arkansas; sporting and police ammunition carried the REM-UMC headstamp until that year. Remington moved its headquarters to Delaware in 1984 and had vacated the Bridgeport complex by 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e11oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e15oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.74\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.61\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.43\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Microwave-safe for quick reheats\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 11oz and 15oz sizes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Glossy white ceramic with vibrant, long-lasting print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lead- and BPA-free, comfortable C-handle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":54665830236444,"sku":"26070927505930814522","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":54665830269212,"sku":"12548585833948699689","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/813069010872043455_2048.jpg?v=1791312830","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/union-metallic-cartridge-company-ceramic-coffee-mug","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
