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

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.
