This article explained how to fold The Sanbo on Legs, and a longer variant, under the somewhat surprising name of 'Nantucket Sinks'. The second paragraph mentions some of other paperfolds known to the author at this date:

Boxes of several kinds

the neat three-cornered notes that old English ladies fold - The Three Cornered Note

Napoleon's 'breast-pin' transformed into his 'steamboat' - presumably The Cross converted to The Steamship

his 'chapeau' made into a 'dust-pan' - ?????

The issue of St Nicholas for January 1888 contained a reader's letter, in the Letterbox column, describing how the long version of the design could be achieved and varied. Despite its later date this letter is also included on this page.
