I have added a new page to the history section of my Origami Heaven website about paperfolding in Mad magazine in the 1960's - see http://www.origamiheaven.com/historymadmagazine.htm
The series of subscriptions adverts featuring origami by Giuseppi Baggi that ran from April 1967 to September 1968 are the earliest adverts I know of that use origami to promote something that is not paperfolding related. I hope, however, that some of you may know of other earlier examples. If you do, please let me know. I would also be interested to know if you can identify any of the designs as being by anyone other than Giuseppi Baggi. I think the peacocks may be by Yoshizawa, for instance? Thanks for your help Dave
