Otto Gans was an inventor
who was located in Waltershausen, Germany. He registered
his patent in 1901 for dolls with roguish, googly
flirting eyes. Kämmer &
Reinhardt was a customer and used the Gans patent of flirting eyes in some of their dolls.
In 1908 Mr. Gans, Mr. Seyfarth and Mr. Heller formed the Gans & Seyfarth
Porzellanfabrik also in Walterhausen, Germany.
By 1922 the partnership dissolved and two of the partners formed new
doll factories, Otto Gans by himself and Seyfarth partnered
with Mr. Reinhardt to form Seyfarth & Reinhardt Porzellanfabrik.
Shown below are doll marks and mold numbers of these intertwined owners
