I'm not sure if it was the first appearance in print, but it's in "Abbott's Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks", compiled by Stewart James, which I believe was first published in 1941.
There's a whole chapter on the Hunter Knot and variations in Karl Fulves' "Self Working Rope Tricks".

Thanks Edwin. I'm wondering if the routine may have appeared in a British magazine before those?

That I wouldn't know. I did find another reference in Denis Behr\'s database to a prior appearance in Tarbell Vol. 3 (1927).
