Ernst Otto Gans,
known as 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 Otto Gans, Hugo Seyfarth and Adolf Heller formed the Gans & Seyfarth
Porzellanfabrik also in Walterhausen, Germany.
By 1922 the partnership dissolved and the partners formed new doll factories.
