1963

As far as I know this design first appears in 'The Best of Origami: New Models by Contemporary Folders' by Samuel Randlett, which was published by E P Dutton in New York in 1963 and by Faber and Faber Ltd in London in 1964.

The same book contained a design for a Super Susan (made using cuts) by John M Nordquist.
