The 'Deluxe Origami Mobile Kit' was published by Platt and Munk in New York, probably in September 1961. It includes the booklet 'Origami: The Oriental Art of Paper Folding' by Harry C Helfman, which was published in late 1960, and a separate booklet titled 'Origami Mobiles', as well as paper and bamboo sticks.

I have not seen a full copy of the 'Origami Mobiles' booklet. The inside pages shown below page are taken from the revised hardback edition of 'Origami: The Oriental Art of Paper Folding' which was published in 1965 and combined both booklets from this kit into one volume. I am confident that they are identical to those published in this kit.
