| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the cut paperfolding design known as The Paper
Snapper. Please contact me if you know any of this
information is incorrect or if you have any other
information that should be added. Thank you. There appear to be two versions of this design. In the earlier version the flaps that are folded over to create the boat shape remain in view. The later version is developed from the Keelboat design and consequently these flaps are hidden from view inside the other layers of the design. There is a separate page for the Paper Boat Snapper. ********** 1923 As far as I know the first appearance of this design is as 'Snap Goblin' in 'More Paper Magic' by Will Blyth, which was published by C Arthur Pearson in London in 1923.
