content: This paper model of a regular dodecahedron has a cubical center and 6 five-sided polyhedra, hinged together, that can be arranged as another cube less an eight-pointed star pentagonal dodecahedron. A tag on the model reads: L12. It also is marked: Russell King (/) Mar. 6, 1939. This sounds like Wheeler's model 773.
