Lodge Bros

The Lodge brothers, Oliver and Alec, took out a patent in 1903 for an improved high tension ignition system and formerly went into business in 1904 as Lodge Bros. Their patent soon became obsolete when Bosch introduced their new magneto system so they turned their attentions to Sparking Plugs. In 1907 they marketed their spark plug range at the annual Motor Show, and by 1913 they had amalgamated with the Mascot Company to produce improved sparking plugs with gas tight joints by means of a fused glass technology - the new business was called 'The Lodge Sparking Plug Co Ltd'. The company was always keen to advertise its wares and these period advertisements help to illustrate their endeavors through the evolving Lodge sparking plug.
