Not many hours ago we talked regarding the auction of a check signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, which sold for no less than US$135,000, but this was not the only artifact related to the Apple which was acquired for a pretty hefty sum recently.
As noted by MacRumorso draft of an Apple I ad handwritten by Jobs was sold for no less than US$175.759 on a RR Auction auction — which constantly has Apple products in its catalogue.
Identified by the site as a draft of the specifications of the then future company computer, the document has details that match perfectly with the original Apple I announcement, published in the July 1976 issue of Interface magazine.
In addition to the draft of the ad itself, the auctioned package also included two Polaroid photos: one of a fully assembled Apple I board (with a keyboard and a monitor) and the other with the computer screen in operation — this one, with a handwritten note by Jobs.
All of these items were given by the founder of Apple to a friend who visited him several times during the development phase of the Apple I — at the time, just a sketch of what would become one of the most iconic items in the history of technology.
Still talking regarding the computer, a still working Apple I signed by Woz was also auctioned (separately) by RR Auction. The machine was sold for no less than US$223.520. ????
