George Lerner
George Lerner (1922-1995) was the inventor of the American toy, Mr. Potato Head 〔http://www.jewoftheweek.net/2012/02/22/jews-of-the-week-george-lerner-the-hassenfeld-brothers/〕
Just before 1950, he designed and produced a first generation set of plastic face pieces. The push pin shaped noses, ears, eyes, and mouth parts could be pushed into fruits or vegetables to transform the food into playmates. Lerner finally sold the toy for $5000, to a cereal company. The toys were planned to be a premium giveaway in cereal boxes. But when Lerner found a better deal offered by toy manufacturer Hassenfeld Brothers (now Hasbro), Lerner and the manufacturer bought the rights back for $7000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Jews of the Week: George Lerner & The Hassenfeld Brother )〕 HasBro officially named the toy, Mr. Potato Head.
It was in 1964 and 1975 where George Lerner’s design got their plastic head and size upgrades respectively, in order to comply with government issued safety regulations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GEORGE LERNER AND MR. POTATO HEAD )〕
