Here is what I could find regarding this company – The Coffeyville Stoneware Company was a business that operated in Coffeyville, Kansas. This company appears to have been active in the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Coffeyville, during that time, was home to a number of brick plants due to an abundance of natural resources like shale, limestone, and building stone. These resources likely supported the stoneware company as well.
