| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the cut and fold design known as the Wind
Wheel. Please contact me if you know any of this
information is incorrect or if you have any other
information that should be added. Thank you. ********** 1864 The earliest appearance of this design that I have been able to find is in 'Spielbuch fur Knaben' by Hermann Wagner, which was published by Verlag von Otto Spamer in Leipzig in 1864, although the foreword is dated May 1863, which argues that the book was complete at that date.
