Joseph L. Kallus |
Joseph Kallus was a doll designer who established the Cameo Doll Co., in 1922. In 1881, Geo. Borgfeldt and Co. was formed as an organization with George Borgfeldt, Marcell Kahle and Joseph L. Kahle.
The motivation behind the firm was to import from Europe dolls, toys, puppets and curiosity things for circulation to the American market. Branch workplaces were set up in New York City, in Canada and all over Europe, especially in Germany, the focal point of the doll and toy producing industry. George Borgfeldt surrendered as leader of the firm in 1900, and was prevailing by Marcell Kahle.
After the demise of Kahle in 1909, Fred Kolb moved toward becoming president. In 1912, Kolb entered exchanges with Rose O'Neill to create an assortment of Kewpie puppets and dolls. They chose to contract an American partner to render plans from Rose O'Neill's drawings of Kewpie.
In 1931, Max Fleischer went to Cameo Doll Factory and struck a deal to create Bimbo and Betty Boop Cameo Dolls.
Trivia
- Prior to her demise in 1944, Rose O'Neill endeavored to exchange the rights to create the Kewpies to Joseph, yet the exchange was not finished. After her demise, the rights were allotted to Kallus by John Hugh O'Neill, her nephew and beneficiary. In 1955 Joseph asked for that rights for the majority of Rose's books be exchanged to him, so he could secure them alongside the dolls. Kallus endeavored to consult with American Character Doll Co. in 1960 needing them to create Kewpies under permit to Cameo. The organization denied the demand since they'd had clashes with him in the past when he blamed them for endeavoring to duplicate his unique work. They would not like to manage his identity. A few organizations discovered him hard to consult with and rejected his solicitations to work together.
