I have been trying to find out whether Mego acquired the Samet & Wells (aka) Samwel Toy Company at some point in the 1970s.
There is reference to a court case involving workers and both companies are named, but whether they were associated or whether Mego purchased Samet and Wells is something that I have not been able to find.
There is another aspect that I have not been able to track down. There was an R & R Toy Company that produced dolls that were identical in style to a line from Samet & Wells. I have been trying to find out if there was any relationship between the two companies or if one copied from the other and infringed on a patent.
Here are a couple of images for comparison. The patchwork-clothed doll is from the R & R Toy Company and the other one is from Samet & Wells.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David B
