My father, David Prongue, was a model maker. It is the centerpiece of the museum, the handcrafted, to scale model of the USS Bowfin. Last picture on the right. The piece was recently appraised for over a million dollars. Before he was comissioned to make the Bowfin model, he made this model. This is a one of a kind piece. The model is hollow inside and made out of wood. The helicopter is the only item my father did not make by hand. This model has been carefully handled, although the strings along the top need to be reattached. This item is large and could be put on display as a museum piece.
