Model of a Mercury capsule, it is basically a shell with an image of the interior placed in the hatchway (it looks pretty good in this image, but you can see the foreshortening in the second image below). What makes this unique is that it sports an authentic escape tower. Cool!

Mercury full scale model, quite simplistic. Quite old, there is a photo of it on display from 1964 with John Glenn next to it.
