| This page is being used to
collect information about the history of the paperfolding
design known as the Paper Boat Snapper, which, as the
name suggests, is derived from the Paper Boat. Please
contact me if you know any of this information is
incorrect or if you have any other important information
that should be added. Thank you. ****** 1928 As far as I know this design first appears, under the title of 'Goose's Head' in 'Fun with Paperfolding' by William D Murray and Francis J Rigney, which was published by the Fleming H Revell Company, New York in 1928.
********** 1937 This design also appears, under the title of 'Quack-Quack' in 'Paper Toy Making' by Margaret Campbell, which was first published by Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd in London, probably in 1937, although both the Foreword and Preface are dated 1936, which argues that the book was complete at that date.
********** 1939 As 'The Chattering Magpie' in 'Fun with Paper' by Joseph Leeming, which was published by Spencer Press Inc in Chicago in 1939.
********** 1956 This design also appears, as 'Snapper 1', in 'Paper Magic' by Robert Harbin, which was published by Oldbourne in London in 1956.
