I saw a "Davey Crocket" on display at the West Point museum. Very deadpan description about the "limitations" of a nuke that could be thrown a maximum of 1000m.

That's either the one, or a relative of the one that Eisenhower had rolled around Korea in 1953, to convince the North Koreans to get serious about armistice talks. I saw it go up and down the road several times.
