Free cartoon paper cutout toy patterns from the 1920s
Back in February of 2012, I posted about a bunch of free mechanical paper toy plans from the 1920s. The link previously posted by The Barnacle Press doesn't seem to work any longer. Fortunately, Christine Nelson has posted a set. These mechanical paper toy plans were created by an artist named Dan Rudolph for the LA Times back in 1922 and 1923. The plans show you how to make moving toys by cutting out and articulating the parts of various cartoon characters. Shown here is one example, titled Bimbo the Begging Monkey. There are lots to choose from including cartoon characters, animals, and the occasional celebrity.
Here is the link to the flickr set with Dan Rudolph Newspaper toy designs.

Thanks for the link! I downloaded a few of these for Christmas holiday projects. Try this one I found on Instructables.com. It is a paper sculpture of the Gangnam Style guy! The construction style looks a lot like the paper gears I have seen here before. http://www.instructables.com/id/Gangnam-Style-Paper-Machine/
