Hi again, >>The model was spotted displayed in Edinburgh convention. We, in turn, had seen the snake at the Dutch convention in April 2013, where it had been taught to us by a Japanese visitor from N.O.A. (I am sorry to say that I cannot recall her name at the moment, but I would know her again if I saw her! She was also at Cambridge.) She (through interpreters) had explained that the author was unknown.
When we then published the diagrams in BOS 282, we stated that the creator was "Unknown" as that was as much as we had discovered. I have also found it diagrammed in NOA Issue 455. No creator name is given. More noise and very little more information, but fun to trace it back nonetheless :-) Dennis
