I know Ford bought ignition components from Schug, Splitdorf and Huff during 1903-04, There may be others. Please add any information and pictures. Thanks

More pics of coils. The first picture is a reproduction of a Schug coils with a Ford KW coils inside. I’ll probably use this for my 1903 Ford.

Interesting how the art nouveau border on the logo echoes the early ford design.
