Contractor's model, approximately 52 x 18 inches, [mid-to-late 1950s], plaque on wooden base reading: "Saturn / C-I Configuration." Unusual concept model likely from the early days of development. It bears little resemblance the Saturn rockets that followed and is possibly an early model to test the booster stage as the upper stage appears too narrow to carry a payload.
