At that time was the largest manufacturer of high grade lighting in the country with over 200,000 sq. ft floor space. On March 23, 1923 George Ludwig with the company took out a patent. Moe-Bridges specialized in beautiful and popular reverse painted lamps with wide sales and distribution. Designs on Moe-Bridges lamps often feature landscapes with forest or country scenes that typically include a water element. Perfection was paramount and no signature of guarantee tag was applied until each work of art passed a rigorous final inspection. In 1934 the company was purchased by the Electric Sprayit Co. Today the Moe-Bridges are highly collectible and fetch up to $10,000 at auction.
