While the term "air quotes" did not appear until 1989, use of similar gestures has been recorded as early as 1927. A single handed quote is an equivalent, though less dramatic variation.
The gesture was used routinely in the TV show Celebrity Charades (1979) as the standard signal for a quote or phrase.
