This problem is known as the "Vaniva Problem." It was composed by Sidney Lenz (the loser to Culbertson in that match) in 1928 in a contest promoted by Vaniva Shaving Cream. Based on the date, I would guess that this is one of the first ever double-dummy problems in contract bridge. (Source: The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge)
