Re: [Origami] . Paperfolding in Mad Magazine
Thank you for your replies. I have added the information into the page. I thought it might also be a good idea to put up some information about the extraordinary itinerant entertainer who was Giuseppe Baggi ... so I have! See http://www.origamiheaven.com/historygiuseppebaggi.htm if you are interested. Corrections and further information always welcome! Dave
Re: [Origami] Paperfolding in Mad Magazine / Cerceda’s Peacock
Yes, David, Robert, I made a mistake with the model. I have in my files Cerceda’s peacock from a square, and the model depicted in the ad shown by David Mitchell is from a banknote. Yesterday Michel Grand wrote me noting the mistake. He said: I think you have made a miss-spelling about the year of creation (1975) for the Cerceda’s Peacock... Because the model is published in “Secrets of Origami, The Japanese Art of Paperfolding”, on page 178-182. And the first edition of this book is : 1964... But, the model is also in Adolfo Cerceda’s “Folding Money” published in 1963... Probably the first diagrams is by Neal Elias (nr 297, so before 1961) but saddly I don’t have in my library his dvd “The World of Neal Elias” to know the exact date.

Re: [Origami] Paperfolding in Mad Magazine / Cerceda’s Peacock
Thus spake "Origami on behalf of F DAVID" on 6/19/19, 2:15 PM: In my reply to David Mitchell’s post, I said that the peacock pictured with a fanned tail is by Adolfo Cerceda. Laura Rosenberg replied:“Yes, that is correct.Year of creation 1975.” However, my late father who died in 1970, taught me and my brothers this model, so I believe the model creation date must be in the 1960’s or ?I don’t recall us having a diagram for the model, nor do I know whom he learned it from.Maybe another reader on this list has more information about this great, classic model. David Shall It was published in Harbin's _Secrets of Origami_. My copy (Octopus) has a publication date of 1971, but the Oldbourne edition lists a publication date of 1964 on amazon.com. Robert P.S. Speaking of Herman Shall, my copy of Honda's _World of Origami_ (picked up at a used bookstore) is inscribed "To Catherine Ruggles, from Wally Samuelson and Herman Shall," so a nice bit of folding history attached to it.
