Photo taken in 1933:

Chief Gunner with His Model Design

Original caption: Washington, D. C.: Boone. A Master Diver Pays Tribute To His craft...In Miniatures. It took Chief Gunner's mate G. F. Boone just six months to be made into a master diver, but it took him much longer to make this model diver he is exhibiting in Washington.

It is in perfect scale complete to the last detail. A small air pump supplies pressure. A tiny sheath knife, a telephone head set, valves, lines and other diving suit accessories are all in proper place.

That IS cool! I've never really researched it, but I've always wondered how old this hobby is... :)
