Robert S. Eaton Sr. 1940–2001

Complete, functional Apple-1 Computer system, enhanced by its original Operation Manual and a handwritten note from Daniel Kottke

6000. Apple-1 Computer. Fantastic, well-preserved and fully functional ‘Byte Shop’–style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1), complete with all components and accessories required for operation, highlighted by its rare original, heavily annotated operating manual.

The set includes:

• original Apple-1 board, marked with Byte Shop stock number “01-0052”

• original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board

• vintage, period-correct SWTPC keyboard, adapted for the Apple-1 and accompanied by its manual

• vintage, period-correct power supply, wired as described in the Apple-1 Operation Manual

• vintage, period-correct Sanyo monitor in a custom wooden case, with video cable

• unassembled Apple-1 expansion board by Electronic Systems

• original Apple-1 Operation Manual, extensively handannotated with notes including Steve Jobs’s phone extension

• original Apple-1 Cassette Interface manual

• original handwritten note by Daniel Kottke, c. 1978, about running Applesoft on the Apple-1

• a period Xerox copy of an Apple-1 BASIC manual

This Apple-1 computer was restored to operational condition in October 2019 by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen, and a video of it running and functioning is available upon request. A comprehensive, technical condition report prepared by Cohen is available to qualified bidders; he evaluates the condition of the unit as 8.0/10 based on condition and originality. This computer is recorded as #91 in the Apple-1 Registry, listed as the ‘Bayville’ Apple-1.

Cohen observes the computer’s very good cosmetic condition, noting that many of the integrated circuits have unusually bright and clear labeling; further, the board does not have green coat peeling from the wave soldering process, a rarity among Apple-1 boards.

The Apple-1 system is enhanced by the inclusion of rare original documentation, highlighted by the Apple-1 Operation Manual,

12 pages, 8.5 x 11, featuring Apple’s original logo on the front cover, designed by third Apple co-founder Ron Wayne and showing Isaac Newton thoughtfully seated beneath a tree, a shining apple dangling overhead. Interestingly, the cover is annotated in pencil with phone extensions of significant early Apple employees: “Ex. 255 Daniel Kottke, Ex. 320 Steve Job [sic],” as well as information about a potential upgrade deal: “$400 credit toward Apple II, 15% discount.” The impressive fold-out schematic of the Apple-1 computer has also been comprehensively annotated in pencil, with the names of Steve Wozniak and Wendell Sander written below.

Loosely laid into the manual is a handwritten note by Daniel Kottke, Apple Computer employee #12, circa December 1978. Kottke writes, in part: “Mike—it just occurred to me that you can’t possibly run Applesoft until you put more RAM on your board: you only have 8K and Applesoft alone is 10K—so it looks like you still have to wait for me to get that schematic together for the 16K RAM modification (for Apple-I). I’ll try to get to it in the next week or two.” This modification does not appear to have been completed, as the board is wired to support executing Apple BASIC on an 8K memory system.

The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. The Apple-1 is not only a marvel of early computing ingenuity, but the product that launched what is today one of the most valuable and successful companies in the world. This complete Apple-1 system, enhanced by the inclusion of its original documentation, is of the utmost quality. Starting Bid $5000

Steve Jobs

Historic, ultra-early 1976

“Apple Computer Co.” check, filled out entirely in the hand of Steve Jobs

6001. Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Co. Check No. 5, Filled Out Entirely by the Company’s Co-Founder. Wells Fargo bank check, 7.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to the University Art Center for $13.25, March 22, 1976. Remarkably, Jobs also pens the fledgling firm’s name and phone number in the upper left, “Apple Computer Co., 968-3596,” and writes out the address at the famed ‘Apple Garage’ property in Los Altos.

This temporary check, issued upon opening Apple’s first bank account, bears the same routing and account numbers as other early Apple Computer Company checks we have offered—most of those, however, date to July 1976 and are imprinted with Apple’s first official address at ‘770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto’—the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. We have offered just two similarly early

examples, both dated March 19, 1976; the present check is unique among these, as it boasts the company’s name and address in Jobs’s own hand. In fine condition.

Marked as check “No. 5,” this ultra-early check pre-dates the official founding of Apple Computer, Inc.—some ten days later, on April 1, 1976, co-founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne would sign the partnership agreement that officially brought Apple Computer into existence.

In March 1976, the month of this check, Wozniak had completed work on an innovative microcomputer design—now known as the Apple-1 Computer—and Jobs suggested that they sell it. This payment to the “University Art Center” may well have been for supplies or materials connected with their early Apple-1 marketing efforts. An absolutely outstanding, ultra-early piece of Apple Computer history. Starting Bid $2500

Jobs fuels the fledgling computer industry—a scarce 1976 Apple Computer Company check to Arco

6002. Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Company Check. Early Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out in black felt tip and signed by Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to Delrooz Arco for $7.05, July 23, 1976. Headed “Apple Computer Company,” the check uses Apple’s first official address at “770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto”—the location of the answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition. Boldly filled out and signed by Jobs during this foundational era of Apple Computer, this is an ideal example of his autograph.

The recipient, “Delrooz Arco,” was presumably a branch of the Arco gas station—an intriguing payment, considering that Jobs had sold his Volkswagen Bus to raise Apple’s initial operating capital. During this period in the summer of 1976, just a few months after founding the Apple Computer Company, Jobs and Wozniak were hard at work building their first product. In March 1976, Wozniak had completed work on an innovative microcomputer design—now known as the Apple-1 Computer—and Jobs suggested that they sell it.

Though initially conceived as a kit to be soldered together by the end user—like most enthusiast computers of the era— the Apple-1 became a finished product at the behest of Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Terrell offered to buy 50 of the computers—at a wholesale price of $500 a piece, to retail at $666.66—but only if they came fully assembled. With this request, Terrell aimed to elevate the computer from the domain of the hobbyist/enthusiast to the realm of the mainstream consumer. Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order in perspective: ‘That was the biggest single episode in all of the company’s history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.’

Thus, the Apple-1 was one of the first completely assembled ‘personal’ computers that simply worked out of the box with a few accessories that could be purchased from a local electronics store (a power supply, case, keyboard, and monitor were not included). Altogether, over a span of 10 months or so, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. An outstanding check signed by the personal computing pioneer. Starting Bid $2500

6003. Steve Jobs Signature - PSA NM-MT 8. Bold ink signature, “Steve Jobs,” on an off-white 3 x 1.75 card overprinted so as to resemble one of his Apple Computer business cards. In very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “NM-MT 8.” An attractive, highly sought autograph of Apple’s pioneering co-founder and chairman. Starting Bid $1000

“Hello 9th grade! steven jobs”

6004. Steve Jobs Signature - PSA NM-MT 8. Ballpoint signature, “Hello 9th grade! steven jobs,” on an off-white 3.75 x 6.75 sheet of notebook paper. In fine condition, with a bit of light creasing. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “NMMT 8.” The consignor notes that his father-in-law attended a conference where he met Jobs and asked him to sign for the high school class taught by his wife, a teacher in Hollis, New Hampshire. Starting Bid $1000

6005. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak 1972 and 1968 High School Yearbooks. Desirable pair of yearbooks portraying the Apple co-founders:

Hardcover 1972 Pegasus yearbook from Steve Jobs’ senior year at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, 8.75 x 11.25, 201 pages. Jobs is pictured as a member of the graduating senior class on page 24; Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ girlfriend and the mother of his first child, is pictured as a junior on page 47; and Bill Fernandez, a close friend of Jobs and Apple employee No. 4, is pictured as a senior on page 19.

Hardcover 1968 Pegasus yearbook from Steve Wozniak’s senior year at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, 8.75 x 11.25, 200 pages. Wozniak is pictured as a member of the graduating senior class and as president of the electronics club on page 58; his sister, Leslie Wozniak, is depicted as a member of the junior class.

In overall fine condition: both books bear multiple signatures and inscriptions to the original owners but are not signed by Jobs or Woz. Starting Bid $200

Original Steve Jobs business card as “Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer”

6006. Steve Jobs Apple Business Card (c. 1985) . Original Apple Computer business card for Steve Jobs as chairman of the board, 3.5 x 1.75, featuring the company’s colorful rainbow logo. The card’s text reads: “Steven P. Jobs, Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer, Inc., 20525 Mariani Avenue, MS: 3K, Cupertino, California 95014, 408 973-2121 or 996-1010.” In fine condition, with adhesive remnants on the reverse. This card dates to the period when Jobs served as Apple’s chairman from February 1981 until his resignation in September 1985. Although Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he didn’t reassume the role of chairman until August 24, 2011, the date of his resignation as CEO and some six weeks before his passing. Starting Bid $300

Circa 1979 Apple Computer business card for “Steven Jobs, Vice President, New Product Development”

6007. Steve Jobs Apple Business Card (c. 1979). Rare circa 1979 Apple Computer, Inc. business card of Steve Jobs, 3.5 x 2, listing him as “Steven Jobs, Vice President, New Product Development.” The off-white card is embossed with the Apple ‘byte’ logo in the upper left and lists the company’s address as “10260 Bandley Drive, Cupertino California 95014.” In fine condition. As Apple Computer began to take off after the release of the Apple II, larger office space was needed to house its growing operations. In January 1978, Apple moved into its custom-built ‘Bandley 1’ headquarters at 10260 Bandley Drive in Cupertino. The new facility offered office and warehouse space, engineering and demonstration areas, and a manufacturing/production room. Steve Jobs reportedly got his own office because nobody wanted to share one with him, and investor/marketer Mike Markkula also had his own because he sometimes smoked cigarettes while working. Though no longer occupied by Apple, the Bandley 1 space is just blocks away from the current campus at 1 Infinite Loop. Starting Bid $500

“Steven P. Jobs, Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer, Inc.”—circa 1985 Apple business card for Steve Jobs, deriving from the estate of noted inventor and electronics engineer Chuck Colby

6008. Steve Jobs Apple Business Card (c. 1985) with Miscellaneous Group of (18) Apple Computer Business Cards - From the Estate of Chuck Colby. Original Apple Computer business card for Steve Jobs as chairman of the board, 3.5 x 2, featuring the company’s colorful rainbow logo. The card’s text reads: “Steven P. Jobs, Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer, Inc., 20525 Mariani Avenue, MS: 3K, Cupertino, California 95014, 408 973-2121 or 9961010.” Annotated on the reverse by Chuck Colby, an inventor and electronics engineer whose Colby Systems Corporation created the first DVR-based video surveillance systems and pioneered the sale of Macintosh portable computers (including the MacColby and the WalkMac). This card dates to the period when Jobs served as Apple’s chairman from February 1981 until his resignation in September 1985. Although Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he didn’t reassume the role

of chairman until August 24, 2011, the date of his resignation as CEO and some six weeks before his passing.

Includes an additional 18 miscellaneous Apple Computer, Inc. business cards for several engineers, salespeople, and program managers, and one PCMA/Apple business card, most with annotations by Colby. In overall fine condition. Provenance: From the estate of Chuck Colby.

In an email to Colby, Wozniak wrote: ‘You are the greatest inventor I know. I’d gladly trade places. I hope you get more and more recognition.’ Starting Bid $300

Apple business cards from Jobs’ return to Apple in 1997, when he became “Interim CEO” and “iCEO”

6009. Steve Jobs (3) Apple Business Cards (1997, 1998, and 1999) as “Interim CEO” and “iCEO”. Rare set of three Apple Computer business cards of Steve Jobs from 1997, 1998, and 1999, which date to his return to the company where he assumed the role of Interim CEO, a title he later creatively altered to ‘iCEO.’ The cards, each 3.5 x 2, all feature the Apple logo, with the two earlier versions bearing the iconic ‘rainbow’ logo, and the third featuring a red ‘translucent’ logo. The ‘rainbow’ cards share identical contact information, but differ in title, with the earliest version marked “Interim CEO,” and the second version identifying Jobs as “iCEO.” The red ‘translucent’ also lists Jobs as the “iCEO,” but features a break in the contact information and is dual-sided, with the reverse identical minus Jobs’s title in Japanese characters. In overall fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from a former Apple employee who states that he “worked for the company from 1987 to 2015, nearly three decades, during which I had the privilege of witnessing and contributing to some of the most transformative periods in the company’s history. Throughout my tenure, I was based at Apple’s headquarters, directly experiencing the leadership and vision of Steve Jobs…I acquired these cards directly from Steve’s executive assistant. My role required regular interaction with the executive team, and through these professional connections, I was able to obtain these items.” Starting Bid $500

Print sample 1985 Apple business cards for Steve Jobs and John

Sculley, the company’s “Chairman of the Board” and “President and Chief Executive Officer”

6010. Steve Jobs and John Sculley ‘Print Sample’ Apple Business Cards and Apple Corporate Identity Guideline Manual (1985) - From the Collection of Clement Mok. Rare early print samples of original Apple Computer business cards for Steve Jobs as chairman of the board and John Sculley as president and CEO, both featuring the company’s colorful rainbow logo. The Jobs card, 3.25 x 1.75, reads: “Steven P. Jobs, Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer, Inc., 20525 Mariani Avenue, MS: 3K, Cupertino, California 95014, 408 973-2121 or 996-1010.” The Sculley card, 3.5 x 2, reads: “John Sculley, President and Chief Executive Officer,” with the same address and contact information. These cards date to circa 1985, two years into Sculley’s role as CEO, and the same year Jobs resigned from Apple. In 1985 Apple overhauled the company’s graphics standards, opting for a new look inspired by the Macintosh graphics — a white background and the ITC Garamond typeface. The consignor notes that Jobs reviewed the print proof of his card and questioned the kerning of the address on his card.

Also included is a rare original Apple Computer, Inc. ‘Corporate Identity Guidelines’ manual from 1985, housed in its original three-ring binder, 8.5 x 11.75, with Apple ‘rainbow’ logo and “Corporate Identity Guidelines” printed on the front cover and spine. This manual was distributed to Apple employees to ensure a unified brand identity by defining key elements like logo usage, color schemes, and typography. The manual contains the following sections (and subsections): Logo (Introduction, Color Standards, Three-color Process, Background Colors, Color Variations, Reversed to White, Staging), Trademarks (Legal Guidelines), Logotypes (Corporate Logotype, Product Logotypes), Signatures (Legal Signature, International Signature, Authorized Dealer), Type Styles (Primary Type Style, Secondary Type Style), Stationery (Business Cards, Letterhead, Envelopes), Grids (Introduction, Layouts for U.S.A., Layouts for International), Signage (Interior, Exterior), Vehicle (Graphic Guidelines), Color Matching (Logo Colors, Logo Color Intensity, Apple Gray, Apple Red), and Reproduction Art.

Of considerable interest is the Logo section, touted as “the primary link and support for all elements and expressions of Apple’s Corporate Identity Program,” Apple’s type style in variations of ITC Garamond and Helvetica, the precise design dimensions for its iconic stationery, and its Color Matching section containing 25 pages with perforated “color swatches that can be removed and sent with mechanical reproduction art as a visual color match reference.” The consignor notes that each copy of this graphics manual costs close to $200 to print in 1985 dollars (almost $600 in 2024). Vendors were given the manual to match the exacting standards that the manual provided. These manuals were given out sparingly to frequently contracted Apple vendors only, with only around 500 copies produced at a time. In overall fine condition.

Accompanied by a copy of the front cover of BusinessWeek from 1984, which shows Jobs and Sculley side by side; numerous unused Apple Computer peel-off note labels; and a white medium-sized Apple Computer polo shirt with the company’s iconic rainbow logo present to the left chest, and the inner collar and tag stamped with the consignor ’s initials. Starting Bid $200

Extremely rare original Apple-1 Operation Manual from 1976 Apple Computer Hardware, Software, and Manuals

6027. Apple-1 Computer Operation Manual - From the Collection of Clement Mok. Extremely rare original vintage Apple-1 Operation Manual issued by the Apple Computer Company circa 1976, 12 pages, 8.5 x 11, featuring Apple’s original logo on the front cover, designed by third Apple co-founder Ron Wayne and showing Isaac Newton thoughtfully seated beneath a tree, with a shining apple dangling overhead. The Operation Manual contains an impressive fold-out schematic of the Apple-1 computer and features information on getting the system up and running, using the system monitor, and expanding the Apple system. Three pages are headed “6502 Hex Monitor Listing” and detail an innovative memory program devised by Steve Wozniak that is commonly called the ‘Woz Monitor.’ The back cover bears an affixed label marked in red felt tip, “76-K.” In fine condition, with a few light stains to the front cover and some toning to the back cover; the internal pages are pristine. This example is not three-hole punched.

The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world.

The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers that did not require soldering by the end user. Altogether, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them.

An essential accessory for early Apple II users—the Applesoft BASIC programming language allowed users to write and run their own BASIC programs, making it a key tool for programming on the Apple II. Starting Bid $200

6030. Apple II Computer ‘Breakout’ Cassette Tape for ‘Color Demos’. Original Apple II personal computer cassette tape for containing “Color Demos” for the arcade game “Breakout,” which was released in 1977 and developed by Steve Wozniak.

Designed by Steve Wozniak in October of 1975, the arcade game Breakout was developed and published by Atari, Inc. and released on May 13, 1976. In the game, a layer of bricks lined the top third of the screen, and the goal was to destroy them all by repeatedly bouncing a ball off a paddle into them. Breakout was a worldwide commercial success, among the top five highest-grossing arcade video games of 1976 in both the United States and Japan and then among the top three highestgrossing arcade video games of 1977 in the U.S. and Japan.

Wozniak later claimed that Breakout directly influenced the design of the Apple II computer, saying ‘A lot of features of the Apple II went in because I had designed Breakout for Atari. I had designed it in hardware. I wanted to write it in software now.’ This included his design of color graphics circuitry, the addition of game paddle support and sound, and graphics commands in Integer BASIC. ‘Basically, all the game features were put in just so I could show off the game I was familiar with—Breakout—at the Homebrew Computer Club. It was the most satisfying day of my life [when] I demonstrated Breakout—totally written in BASIC. It seemed like a huge step to me. After designing hardware arcade games, I knew that being able to program them in BASIC was going to change the world.’ Starting Bid $200

6032. Apple II Mini Manual and Applesoft Manual. Early “Apple II Mini Manual,” 8.5 x 11, totaling 68 pages, comprising an introductory section (“Getting Started With Your Apple II Board”) followed by sections on software, hardware, and demo tape program listings. The manual is bound into a simple red dark cardstock folder with a full-color cardstock ad/technical specification sheet in the front, mentioning the availability of “Games like Pong or Startrek.” Notably, the “Demo Tape Program Listings” section includes “Breakout” and “Pong With Bricks”—demonstrating the product’s origins and affiliation with Atari. The Apple II computer was originally bundled with two game paddles, specifically for the purpose of playing ‘Breakout.’ Also include an early guide to “Applesoft,” 75 pages, bound in a similar red folder, explaining commands, formats, and a variety of other software conventions. In overall very good condition, with cracks to the plastic overlay sheet on the front of the “Mini Manual,” the overlay missing from the Applesoft guide, some scattered staining to out, and blacked-out page numbers in the mini manual. Starting Bid $200

Sought-after complete 1977 Apple II Computer with an original Rev. 0 board

6033. Apple II Computer with Early Rev. 0 Board (Serial No. A2S1-0905). Very early, complete Apple II computer in its standard vented case, carrying a scarce Rev. 0 logic board (green), featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1977, hand numbered in the corner in black felt tip: “1179.” No revision number is printed within the 6502 socket, which is populated with a Synertek M0S 6502 microprocessor, marked with correct date code “7732.” All parts and chips are original and correct. Installed on the board are an Apple Language Card and Disk II Interface Card. The bottom bears an “Apple Computer Inc.” label, identifying it as “Serial No. A2S1-0905.” The case exhibits some chipping to paint, and a piece of tape over the label on the bottom.

The system has been tested to power on to the Apple II logo but does not appear to boot to integer ROM monitor properly; there is corrosion to some legs of the original integer ROM ICs and some keys on the keyboard are unresponsive, likely

due to dirty contacts in the key switches. While the system is in need of minor repairs, it should be fairly easy to restore to fully functional, original condition.

The early success of the Apple-1 in 1976 paved the way for the introduction of the Apple II in the spring of 1977. In Apple’s 1980 IPO prospectus, the company described its progress: ‘In April 1977 the Company introduced the Apple II computer mainframe which was similar to the Apple I but incorporated additional circuitry and a keyboard, and was packaged in a plastic housing.’ In other words, the Apple II built upon the Apple-1 to become an even more capable, more consumerready machine. Between 1977 and 1980, on the sales of the Apple II and its peripherals, accessories, and software, Apple Computer’s yearly revenue grew from $774,000 to $118 million, making it one of the great growth stories of Silicon Valley.

Apple II computers initially came in this ventless case, but they experienced frequent overheating issues: this often led to various custom modifications to the original cases, with users cutting their own ventilation holes or wiring DIY fans into the housing. Within months, Apple introduced a vented case that solved the overheating problem and offered existing users a free replacement. As most early Apple II users took advantage of the upgrade or vented their cases themselves, unmodified ventless Apple II computers are exceptionally rare. Starting Bid $500

Released with a whopping price tag orbiting $5000, the business-oriented Apple III computer, equipped with the Apple SOS operating system, seemed predestined to fail. Designed to serve as the successor to the Apple II series, the Apple III suffered from stability issues shortly after its November 1980 release, which resulted in the first 14,000 machines produced being recalled. The bugs were fixed, but the computer’s reputation was not. The Apple III was discontinued on April 24, 1984, and its last successor, the III Plus, was dropped from the Apple product line in September 1985. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak stated that the primary reason for the Apple III’s failure was that the system was designed by Apple’s marketing department, unlike Apple’s previous engineering-driven projects.

The Apple logo is present to the lower left corner and the underside bears an affixed label marked “SN-235.” The keyboard bears a smooth finish, retains its original cable, and features a lockable slideout tray to the right side. In fine condition.

During the development of the Macintosh 128K, a new keyboard was designed to accommodate the computer’s smaller case. In addition to the reduced size, another desired design was a way to implement the key combination pullout cards. However, rather than store these cards at the bottom of the keyboard, they were intended to be placed in a slideout tray from the side. This example is just one of a small population of Macintosh 128K prototype keyboards with this feature. Interestingly, hints of this slideout tray can be seen in the very early Macintosh keyboards, which have more holes in the bottom as compared to later versions. Starting Bid $300

The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface.

The Apple Lisa 2/10, released in 1984, boasted advanced features that were revolutionary for its time. Its 12-inch monochrome display with a resolution of 720x364 pixels offered crisp and clear graphics, setting new standards for graphical

user interfaces. The Lisa 2/10 was equipped with an impressive 5-megahertz Motorola 68000 processor, delivering robust performance for its era.

This computer holds a special place in computing history not only for its technological advancements but also due to its limited production run. Apple produced a relatively small number of Lisa 2/10 units, estimated to be around 10,000. This exclusivity contributes to its desirability among collectors and technology enthusiasts. The Lisa 2/10 was primarily intended for business and professional use, offering powerful capabilities for tasks such as document creation, spreadsheet analysis, and graphical presentations. It was often utilized in corporate environments and educational institutions, where its advanced graphical user interface and productivity software made it an attractive choice for those seeking a more intuitive computing experience. Today, the Apple Lisa 2/10 remains a sought-after piece of computing history, embodying the pioneering spirit that revolutionized personal computing as we know it. Starting Bid $500

Rare Apple Lisa-1 computer system with its original ‘Twiggy’ drives—representing the mass-market

introduction of the mouse and GUI

6055. Apple Lisa Computer with ‘Twiggy’ Drives, ProFile Hard Drive, Mouse, and Keyboard. Rare Apple Lisa desktop computer (Model A6SB100, Memory Option A6SB108), representing an innovative step in the transition between the Apple I and II and the Macintosh. It was one of the first personal computers to present a graphical user interface (GUI), and is remembered for its high price and lack of sales. This example, with Apple label reading “Serial No: B08B832430301, Applenet No: 00102303, Manufactured: 83243,” features the rare original-configuration ‘Twiggy’ floppy drives.

The concept of a GUI-based system was initially developed by Xerox in 1973, but it was Apple that brought it to market with the release of the Lisa in January 1983. The Lisa introduced revolutionary features such as overlapping windows, pull-down menus, and drag-and-drop functionality. Despite its groundbreaking design, the Lisa was expensive, and its specially designed ‘Twiggy’ drives were notoriously unreliable. These ‘Twiggy’ drives were prone to frequent failures, which significantly hindered the commercial success of the Lisa. To address these issues, Apple quickly introduced the Lisa-2 with a modified front panel and standard floppy disk drive. Apple offered Lisa-1 owners a free upgrade to Lisa-2, requiring the return of the original front panel and Twiggy drives, which were then destroyed. As a result, a complete Lisa-1, like the one offered here, is extremely rare. It is estimated that only 30 to 100 Lisa-1 machines still exist today.

Examination of this Apple Lisa 1 revealed extensive damage to the motherboard/backplane caused by the original batteries leaking into the card slots, along with a faulty power supply, RAM boards, CPU board, and video analog board. The I/O board was found to be functional. The power supply was successfully repaired by replacing all electrolytic capacitors. Attempts to repair the CPU board revealed six faulty ICs, which were replaced, but the board remains non-functional. The system is complete and in good cosmetic condition but requires significant additional work for full restoration. A more detailed condition report is available upon request.

In addition to the Lisa 1 computer, this system includes an original Apple Lisa mouse, Apple Lisa keyboard, and Apple ProFile 5MB hard drive. The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface.

Development of the Lisa project began in 1978, aimed at individual business users. Officially, “Lisa” stood for ‘Local Integrated Software Architecture,’ but it was also the name of Steve Jobs’ daughter. The Lisa was first introduced in January 1983 at a cost of $9,995, as one of the first commercial personal computers to have a GUI and a mouse. This initial, original model of Lisa computer features the dual, custom, 5 1/4” ‘Twiggy’ drives. These floppy drives, designed in-house at Apple, were innovative—featuring a high capacity, variable spindle speed, and were double-sided. The Lisa had initially been designed with the idea of running its operating system entirely from these disks. But due to the lack of speed, and the increasing needs of the operating system, the Lisa shipped with an external 5MB ProFile hard drive. The Twiggy drives, with their unique custom diskettes, high manufacture cost, and field unreliability, were soon replaced by Apple with a free upgrade to the later “Lisa 2” machine, which replaced the dual drives with a single 3 1/2” Sony drive, and a new faceplate to accommodate it. As this was offered to customers at no charge, and Apple required the return of the original disk drives and faceplate, it is incredibly rare to find a surviving machine with the original Twiggy drives.

The Lisa did not do well in the marketplace. A large part of this was its hefty price tag, another the relative lack of available software. The machine was also perhaps too much of a radical change in computing environments, offering the graphical interface and the mouse to consumers for the first time. The Lisa was also fairly slow, and this was reflected in the user experience with the operating system. The Lisa did offer a vast array of advanced features, from multitasking to soft power, that took years to make it into other platforms. The Macintosh, released just a year later in 1984 inherited much of the graphical functionality, and the mouse from the Lisa—but did so at a far lower cost, and it was faster as well.

Apple attempted to market and sell the Lisa alongside the Macintosh—eventually releasing a modification kit to allow the Lisa hardware to run Macintosh software, and sold a somodified machine as the Macintosh XL. This had the distinct advantage of having a larger screen and a lot more memory, but was somewhat slower than an actual Macintosh due to the lower processor clock speed.

Ultimately, Lisa didn’t find commercial success, and sold only 10,000 units before being discontinued in 1985. On top of not selling well, many were subsequently traded in to Apple for a substantial discount on the Macintosh Plus—another factor in the rarity of the Lisa today. Starting Bid $1000

The Apple IIc, released in April 1984, was Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer—it was essentially a complete Apple II squeezed into a smaller housing, and the ‘c’ stood for ‘compact.’ To enhance the computer’s portability, Apple introduced its first LCD screen, the Apple IIc Flat Panel Display, featuring an 80x24 monochrome display with double hi-res graphics. However, subpar performance—namely, a distorted aspect ratio and poor contrast—combined with a $600 retail price, led to low sales and eventual discontinuation. Around 10,000 of the LCD displays were produced. Starting Bid $200

Prototype of the Apple Lisa 2—the feature-rich predecessor of the Macintosh

6061. Apple Lisa 2 Prototype with Mouse, Keyboard, and ProFile Drive. Fantastic prototype of the Apple Lisa 2 computer, with a numbered Apple Computer, Inc. plate below the screen: “92046.” Ports on the reverse are hand-notated on tape: “Hard Disk,” “Mouse,” and “Daisy Wheel Printer,” with adjustable knobs for brightness and focus. The back plane of this Lisa features different icons for adjusting brightness and contrast, not seen on production units, and the internal plastic components are marked as “PTA Prototype.” The front panel features the built-in 12-inch monochrome display, single 400K Sony microfloppy drive, power button, and keyboard input.

Includes a prototype Apple Lisa mouse (labeled “378” on the bottom), a retail version of the Lisa Keyboard (Model A6MB101, Serial No. 1025690), and a standard five-megabyte ProFile external drive (Model A9M0005, Serial No. 158458). The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface. Additionally, there is a super tuned flyback included (not installed). In overall very good to fine cosmetic condition; the computer powers on but results in a boot error

The concept of a GUI-based computer system was initially developed by Xerox in 1973, but it was Apple that brought it to market with the release of the Lisa in January 1983. Lisa introduced revolutionary features such as overlapping windows, pulldown menus, and drag-and-drop functionality. Despite its groundbreaking design, the Lisa was expensive, and its specially designed dual ‘Twiggy’ 5.25˝ drives were notoriously unreliable, prone to frequent failure. To address these issues, Apple quickly introduced the Lisa 2 with a modified front panel and single, standard 3.5˝ floppy disk drive. In spite of its vast array of advanced features and a more affordable price, the Lisa 2 did not find commercial success, and the entire Lisa platform was discontinued in 1986. Starting Bid $500

The setup’s monitor is not included. In overall fine condition, with the Apple II Plus, Disk II disk drives, and ISAAC in working order; however, the system in its entirety has not been fully tested.

During his time on the original Macintosh development team, Grimm was responsible for accelerating the testing process. Apple product quality has always been famously high, however, in the early days, this came at the cost of exorbitant man-hours. Every board that was manufactured had to be installed in a modified Macintosh chassis and a system test had to be run. This process would take several minutes per board, significantly decreasing production speed. To speed up this process, Grimm designed this fully automated tester where the Macintosh motherboard was simply connected and the test would automatically run, reducing the time to mere seconds. This testing setup was later upscaled and installed in the Macintosh production plant in Fremont, California. Starting Bid $200

6063. Apple Macintosh 128K Computer and ‘The First One Hundred Days’ Dealer Launch Kit. Original Apple Macintosh 128K computer from 1984, originating from the personal collection of former Apple creative director Clement Mok. Model No. M0001, Serial No. F4241LVM0001, with the FCC ID plate on the back and the serial number label affixed below the front bezel. The serial number indicates that this Macintosh was manufactured in Fremont, California during the 24th week of 1984. Includes its power cable (with sleeve), Macintosh Mouse (M0100), Macintosh Keyboard (M0110), and its original plastic accessory case, which ‘A Guided Tour of Macintosh and MacWriteMacPaint’ cassette tape, a brochure, a spiral-bound manual, and two floppy disks for “Macintosh: MacWriteMacPaint, A Guided Tour” and “Macintosh: System and MacWrite-MacPaint.” The underside of the case bears Mok’s hand-addressed ownership plate.

In overall fine condition, with a small chip to the mouse, and trivial scuffs to the computer, accessory case, and keyboard, the latter of which bears some cracking near the connection port and the letter ‘N’ key detached but present.

The Macintosh 128K was the first in the line of Apple’s Macintosh computers. It offered a radically new approach that featured a graphical user interface (GUI), built-in screen, and mouse-all of which revolutionized the user’s experience, marking the transition from command-line computing to a point-and-click model. The Macintosh was famously announced in one of the most-viewed Super Bowl advertisements of all time, ‘1984.’

This early example was one of the last Macintosh 128K computers to feature the “Macintosh” badge on the back, as the majority made after November 1984 have the “Macintosh 128K” label on the back of the case. A desirable example that represents a landmark in Apple and personal computing history, augmented by its inclusion of a rarely seen ‘The First One Hundred Days’ launch kit. Starting Bid $500

Early “PTA, Prototype” of the Macintosh 128K computer from a member of the ‘Mac 100’ team

6065. Apple Macintosh 128K Prototype Computer - From the Collection of Dennis Grimm. Very early prototype model of the Macintosh 128K computer, with an Apple label affixed underneath the production front bezel bearing the model number, “M0001,” and serial number, “F3510BEM0001,” the latter of which indicates that this was the 387th Macintosh manufactured during the 51st week of 1983 in Fremont, California. In contrast to production case backs, this 128K prototype features reversed upper emblem boxes, with the Apple ‘rainbow’ logo present to the right square area and the left rectangle area left blank; later prototypes featured an embossed ‘Apple’ company name logo. The back is without a manufacturing label and the bottom of the case bears a different vent layout than the retail version of the computer; this model was evidently created before the venting and cooling system was finalized. Rather than use an inelegant cooling fan, Steve Jobs insisted that the Macintosh rely on convective heat transfer, which made it quiet while in operation.

Like the retail version of the computer, this prototype has numerous facsimile signatures of the Macintosh team—including Steve Jobs, Daniel Kottke, Steve Wozniak, Andy Hertzfeld, Joanna Hoffman, and Jef Raskin—stamped inside the plastic case; however, Raskin’s signature is present to the top, whereas in production models this was moved to a different location at the bottom. The consignor notes that Grimm’s signature is not present because he was absent on the day members of the Mac development team were asked to sign their names for the case interior. The process was done in haste and Grimm was always disappointed that his name was not included as part of the final product. The inside also bears the embossed prototype mark, “PTA, Prototype,” with Apple part numbers: “SKMC5022-04, 81-392.” Inside, the analog board is marked “7876” along the top edge and the side of the monitor bears a label marked: “Engineering Sample, E573”; the logic board is no longer present but it is believed to be part of Lot 6062 in the current auction. In very good to fine, untested condition, with rusting to inner case below the analog board and corrosion to power and battery ports. The Macintosh 128K was the first in the line of Apple’s Macintosh computers.

The analog board bears no test markings and is marked in felt tip, “1013,” and the 1985 prototype “Mac Plus” logic board features a pre-production 68000 CPU, white RAM sockets, a handwritten number, “119,” to the bottom right, and the code “MC1121-1,” instead of the standard model number, ‘820-0174-A.’ The interior of the case housing bears a green Apple parts stamp: “CFTC 1, RJ, 805-0564-A.” The case back is no longer present. In very good to fine, untested, condition.

Introduced in 1986, the Macintosh Plus was the third computer in the iconic Macintosh line. An improvement over the Macintosh 512K, it shipped with 1MB of RAM standard, and was expandable up to 4MB. It also included an external SCSI peripheral bus and several smaller improvements over its predecessors. Although the Macintosh Plus was soon overshadowed by the release of the Macintosh SE and the Macintosh II in 1987, it remained in production as a less expensive alternative until 1990—making it the longest-produced Macintosh ever. Starting Bid $300

6067. Apple Macintosh: Microsoft Software Suite with Word, Excel, Chart, and Multiplan. Suite of Microsoft software for the Apple Macintosh, all in their original boxes, including: Microsoft Excel (Complete Spreadsheet with Business Graphics Database), stilled sealed in its original plastic; Microsoft Word (Word Processing Program); Microsoft Multiplan (Electronic Worksheet Program); and Microsoft Chart (Complete Business Graphics Program). Each is complete with its floppy disk, user’s manual, registration card, and assorted other paperwork. In overall very good to fine condition, with wear and creasing to the boxes.

At the time of the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, Microsoft was the biggest third-party developer for Apple Computer. Bill Gates was so impressed with the Macintosh operating system— especially the novelty and user-friendliness of the GUI—that he convinced Apple to license the use of Macintosh features in Windows 1.0 and all future Microsoft software programs. Apple would bring a famous lawsuit against Microsoft in March 1988, in which courts found that any allegations of copyright infringement by Apple were covered by the existing license. By the time all related appeals and petitions came to an end in 1995, Microsoft had grown into a personal computing behemoth, and Apple teetered on the brink of collapse. Starting Bid $200

6068. Apple Computer Circuit Board (1985) - From the Collection of Dennis Grimm. Early unidentified Apple Computer circuit board from 1985 marked with the code “MC1110-07,” 8.5˝ x 3.75˝, with labels to either side numbered “2575.” In fine condition.

6071. Apple Macintosh (2) FileServer Development Boards - From the Collection of Dennis Grimm. Two rare original Apple Computer development boards for Apple FileServer, an early file-sharing and networking software developed in the 1980s that was designed to allow Apple computers, particularly Apple Lisa and early Macintosh systems, to share files over a network. Both boards measure 9 x 8.75 and are marked, respectively, as “Apple Computer, FileServer, MC1082-03, 1985” and “Apple Computer, FileServer, MC1082-04, 1985,” with the former marked as “42” with a small label that reads: “OK, 1 or 2 drive, Script #42.” Both boards contain side-by-side Read-Only Memory (ROM) chips with affixed labels annotated in ink that read as follows: “FS ROM 1885 2-22 Low” and “FS ROM815A 2-22 High”; and “FS ROM 2/22 1885 L” and “FS ROM 2/22 815A H.” In overall fine condition.

The Apple FileServer was Apple’s early attempt at providing a networked storage solution for compact Macintosh computers like the Macintosh 128K, 512K, and Mac Plus. Instead of installing an internal hard disk in each computer, Apple explored a centralized file-sharing system where multiple machines could connect to a shared hard drive. Given Apple’s prior experience with the Profile external hard disk (for Lisa and Apple III) and the Widget internal hard disk (for Lisa 2), this approach was seen as a potential alternative to engineering smaller, Mac-compatible hard drives. The FileServer connection system was named AppleTalk, which allowed a laserwriter printer to connect to the Macintosh computer.

Additionally, Apple envisioned the FileServer as a cross-platform device that could potentially serve Macintosh, Lisa, and Apple II systems. It may have also been one of Apple’s earliest SCSI-based devices, preceding the Macintosh Plus (1986), though details on its implementation remain scarce. The Apple FileServer project was ultimately canceled, in part due to Apple’s shift away from in-house disk drive development following the failure of the Twiggy drive. Instead, Apple eventually embraced external hard drive solutions, including SCSI-based devices, which became standard in later Mac models. Starting Bid $300

The codename Aladdin was one of a series of names used during the Mac SE’s development. According to Mactracker, other SE code names were PlusPlus, Freeport, Maui, and Chablis. The Macintosh SE ran 15-20% faster than its successor, the Macintosh Plus, and was the first Mac with a cooling fan, optional internal hard drive, ADB keyboard jack, and expansion slot. Starting Bid $200

6074. Apple TechStep Prototype ROM Cartridges (2). Two prototype cartridges developed for the Apple TechStep handheld diagnostic tool, each measuring 1.75˝ x 1.75˝ x .75˝, with labels reading: “SCSI HD #188” and “CPU Tests #188.” The TechStep was technically Apple’s first handheld computer, developed for use by Apple technicians between 1991 and 1993. The tool was designed to diagnose and troubleshoot most 68K Macintosh systems, including the Macintosh Classic, Macintosh SE, Macintosh SE/30, Macintosh II, and several others, communicating with the computer over the SCSI port. Consignor notes that these originally came from an Apple facility in California and were later tested and used in Canada for prototyping.

Macworld reports: “This little-known diagnostic tool, which allowed technicians to troubleshoot Mac systems, unintentionally represented Apple’s first handheld mobile computer platform. While most consider this small device an accessory, the TechStep itself contains an embedded computer running specialized software from Apple-provided ROM software packs. No third-party development occurred for this limited diagnostic platform.” Starting Bid $200

The computer is sold as is and is in fine, untested condition, with light toning and scuffing, and some wear to case.

Apple’s very first battery-powered computer, the Macintosh Portable was a total failure when it was released in 1989. It was slow, expensive, and heavy—earning the unwanted nickname ‘The Luggable’ due to its 16-pound weight and less than one hour of battery life. While voted one of the worst tech gadgets of all time, the Portable holds the title as the first computer to ever send an email from space. It did, however, pave the way for the Powerbook 100—which has since been named the 10th greatest personal computer of all time. Starting Bid $200

6081. NeXTcube Logic Board (Motorola 68030 Processor). NeXTcube logic board with Motorola 68030 processor (recapped and working), 11˝ x 11.25˝, featuring the classic NeXT logo designed by Paul Rand, with a copyright date of 1989, reading: “NeXT Inc., Made in USA, 857.00.AD.” In fine condition.

Introduced in 1990, the NeXTcube was a high-end workstation computer (launched with a $7,995 list price) built to run the innovative NeXTSTEP operating system.

Colorful limited edition PowerBook 170, created by Apple for the Japanese Ladies Professional Golf Association

6084. JLPGA PowerBook 170 - Japanese Ladies Professional Golf Association Promo Model Limited to 500. Scarce, highly soughtafter Apple PowerBook 170 laptop computer produced in a limited edition of approximately 500 units for the Japanese Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) tournament in 1992, featuring a unique, playful colorway: the body and screen bezel are primarily dark blue, with a white lid and bottom case, yellow hinge, red sliding panels, and green rotating feet and latch slider. The laptop also features a bilingual English/Japanese keyboard, as it was produced for a Japanese organization. Other than the special color scheme, the JLPGA PowerBook 170 offers standard specifications for the model, with a 9.8-inch active matrix display, 25MHz 68030 processor, up to 8MB of RAM, 2.5? SCSI HD, and a built-in modem. The unit is untested and in very good to fine cosmetic condition: one of the green plastic feet’s rotating mechanisms is broken, the red hinged door panel on the rear is missing (a common PowerBook 170 ailment), and there is some chipping to the rainbow Apple logo on the lid; the trackball may have been replaced, as it is gray rather than yellow.

In the Macworld column ‘Six of the rarest Macs,’ Benj Edwards observes: ‘In 1992, Apple manufactured approximately 500 multicolored PowerBook 170 models to commemorate the 1992 JLPGA golf tournament in Japan. If you ever set your hands upon this colorful machine, you’ll have yourself quite a prize. Apple must have had a field day picking the colors for this machine. It sports a mostly blue body with a white lid and base, red battery doors and contrast sliders, yellow hinge caps and trackball, and green elevating feet. Other than all that, it appears to be a relatively unassuming PowerBook 170.’ On the other hand, the editors of Fortune magazine named it one of the ‘6 ugliest Apple products,’ writing: ‘More the product of a questionable color scheme than poor industrial design, this commemorative Mac is extremely rare. Some 500 were made in honor of the JLPGA golf tournament in Japan.’ Starting Bid $500

Prototype of the iMac G3 in the original, iconic ‘Bondi Blue’

6097. Apple iMac G3 DVT Prototype Computer in ‘Bondi Blue’. Highly desirable DVT (Design Validation Test) prototype of the first Apple iMac G3 computer in the iconic original ‘Bondi Blue’ color. Internal components bear DVT markings and and the CD drive has a large printed X over the FCC marking indicating it is also non-factory released. Tested to boot and in fine cosmetic condition.

Per Steve Jobs and his iMac introduction: ‘iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the internet with the simplicity of Macintosh. Even though this is a full-blooded Macintosh, we are targeting this for the number one use that consumers tell us they want a computer for, which is to get on the internet simply and fast. And that’s what this product is targeted for…So we decided to put in a G3 processor running at 233

megahertz. We debated this quite a bit because there were cheaper, slower things we could have used. And we said, no, this has gotta be the computer that we want on our desk, too…I think that Apple is back on track, and I hope that what we’ve shown you today shows you how we are going to springboard ahead into the future of Apple Computer.’

First released in the ‘Bondi Blue’ colorway in August 1998, the iMac line soon expanded to include a variety of ‘fruity’ flavors, including grape, tangerine, lime, and strawberry. The vibrant colors of the iMac G3 proved essential to the marketing strategy of Steve Jobs and Apple. The G3’s mixture of speed, style, and affordability reinvigorated Apple Computer—the company went from losing $878 million in 1997 to making its first profit in three years in 1998.

Includes the original box and accessories, such as the power cable, the eMate 300 connectivity CD, and sundry literature like user manuals, warranties, and solution guides. In fine, functional condition, with some wear to the box.

Although Jobs axed the Newton line in 1998, he had a special fondness for the eMate and had initially expected to continue its development, writing: ‘The eMate has a bright future.’ Ultimately, however, he realized that the organization’s entire focus had to be dedicated to extending the Macintosh operating system. When discontinuing the development of the Newton platform, the company issued a statement: ‘Apple is committed to affordable mobile computing, pioneered by the eMate, and will be serving this market with Mac OS-based products beginning in 1999.’ One of the most unique-looking Apple products of its time, the eMate’s curvaceous clamshell form factor—and colorful translucent casing—anticipate the later designs of the iMac G3 (1998) and iBook (1999), two of Apple’s great commercial successes spearheaded by Steve Jobs upon his return to the company.

6121. Apple-1 Prototype Replica Signed by Daniel Kottke and Ron Wayne. Attractive non-functional replica of an Apple-1 prototype board, measuring 15.5˝ x 9.25˝, marked as “Apple Computer A,” signed on the surface of the board in black felt tip by early Apple engineer Daniel Kottke and by third Apple co-founder Ronald G. Wayne. The modern replica is a precise recreation of the “Apple Computer A” prototype board based on Paul Terrell’s 1976 Polaroid photos and careful research of the original prototype board sold by RR Auction in 2022. It is a complete PCB board with chip sockets and its three large orange Sprague Atom capacitors intact in the upper right. In very fine condition. Accompanied by two images taken at the 2024 VCF conference in Mountain View, California: one showing Ron Wayne with the prototype replica, and one of Kottke and Wayne together.

Also includes a copy of the Apple-1 operation manual, and a provenance statement from the board’s creator: “It was manufactured in the heart of Silicon Valley, the same location where it was designed and hand-soldered by Steve Wozniak in 1976. The board is an exact copy of the original Apple-1 Computer Prototype with the highest level of attention to details. The part that is missing in the original prototype board was recreated using Paul Terrell’s (owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California) photographs of the complete board. The board carries the unique ‘Apple Computer A’ on the printed circuit board.

The Apple-1 Computer Prototype replica was reviewed by the 2 early Apple employees and has the following genuine autographs: Ronald Wayne - one of the three Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) co-founders. He formed it as a partnership with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs on April 1, 1976. Daniel Kottke - a college friend of Steve Jobs and one of the first employees of Apple Inc. He met Jobs at Reed College in 1972, and they trekked together through India for spiritual enlightenment and to the All One Farm. In 1976, Kottke realized his interest in computers when Jobs hired him to assemble hobbyist computer projects and then to be a part-time employee at the newly founded Apple Computer Company. The autographs were signed at the 2024 Vintage Computer Fair held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. In 1976, Jobs used the prototype boards to demonstrate the Apple-1 to Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. The demo resulted in Apple Computer’s first big order and changed the course of the company-what Jobs and Woz had conceived as part of a $40 do-it-yourself kit for hobbyists became, at Terrell’s request, a fully assembled personal computer board to be sold at $666.66. Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order for fifty Apple-1s in perspective: ‘That was the biggest single episode in all of the company’s history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.’” Starting Bid $200

Fully functional Apple-1 Computer replica, signed by early Apple engineer Daniel Kottke and co-founder Ron Wayne

6120. Apple-1 Computer Replica Signed by Daniel Kottke and Ron Wayne. Fantastic, fully functional replica of an Apple-1 computer, measuring 15.5˝ x 9.25˝, marked “Apple Computer 1,” signed on the surface of the board in black felt tip by early Apple engineer Daniel Kottke and by third Apple co-founder Ronald G. Wayne. The modern replica is an exact clone of the Apple-1, assembled with guidance from Daniel Kottke, one of Apple’s first employees, who also assembled the original batch of Apple-1 computers in Steve Jobs’ garage in 1976.

The computer, along with its components—two power supply transformers, a vintage keyboard, and power/video out box—are mounted to a 17.5˝ x 19˝ board for easy transport and setup. Also includes a modern LCD video monitor, CFFA-1 interface and CompactFlash card loaded with a collection of Apple-1 games and programs, power cables, and video cables. In very fine condition. Accompanied by two images taken at the 2024 VCF conference in Mountain View, California: one showing Ron Wayne signing replica, and one of Kottke and Wayne together

Also includes a copy of the Apple-1 operation manual, startup guide, and a provenance statement from the board’s creator: “It was manufactured in the heart of Silicon Valley, the same place where it was designed and hand-soldered by Steve Wozniak in 1976. The computer is an exact replica of the original Apple-1 board, recreated with meticulous attention to detail. In addition to the circuit board, it includes a period-appropriate keyboard, a power supply built using Steve Wozniak’s recommended components, a monitor, and a card reader loaded with a collection of Apple-1 programs. The overall design of

this Apple-1 reflects its 1976 homebrew computer origins.

6123. Apple iPad (First Generation, Sealed, 64GB/ Wi-Fi). Unopened first generation original Apple iPad, Model A1219, Part No. MC822LL/A, Serial No. GB0484F9Z3A. The box features a life-size image of the iPad with ten icons on the screen; labels on the reverse identify the model as “MC822LL/A iPad Wi-Fi 64GB-USA,” and describe the contents of the box: “Includes iPad, Dock Connector to USB Cables, and 10W USB Power Adapter.” In brand new, factory-sealed mint condition.

Development of the iPad began as early as 2002, and Steve Jobs told Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher that the idea for the iPhone actually came from the development of the iPad: “I’ll tell you a secret. It began with the tablet. I had this idea about having a glass display, a multitouch display you could type on with your fingers. I asked our people about it. And six months later, they came back with this amazing display. And I gave it to one of our really brilliant UI guys. He got [rubber

band] scrolling working and some other things, and I thought, ‘my God, we can build a phone with this!’ So we put the tablet aside, and we went to work on the iPhone.”

After the iPhone’s massively successful release in 2007, Apple’s engineers were free to return their focus to the tablet project—essentially bringing the iPhone’s intuitive multi-touch interface to a much larger display, allowing it to be used more like a laptop or netbook. When introducing the first iPad on January 27, 2010, Steve Jobs promised: “iPad is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price… iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.” Since that time, the iPad has become the best-selling tablet computer series in history, with over 670 million units sold.

What resulted was a mass adoption that would change the way we interact with music forever. The iPod became one of the most critically important hardware innovations of the 21st century, with its iconic design and friendly interface laying the groundwork for modern devices like the iPhone. According to CNET, ‘the iPod was the device that helped transform Apple from a computer company into a consumer electronics company.’ While the number of new-in-box, first-gen iPods is unknown, only around 600k were sold in the first year, and the vast majority of them were opened and used immediately.

‘Design Validation Test’ prototype of Apple’s 1st generation iPod Classic, with a never-before-seen red internal logic board with 2002 copyright year— a possible early development board for the 2nd generation media player

6138. Apple iPod Classic Prototype (1st Generation with Red Logic Board) - Marked as “P95 DVT”. Remarkable prototype of the first generation Apple iPod Classic (white), Model No. M8541, Serial No., U220863CML1, containing a rare red internal logic board marked with part number, “820-1375-01,” and year, “2002. The mirror-finish case back is engraved “P95 DVT,” which designates the prototype stage as ‘Design Validation Test,’ and the inside of the case is stamped, “2A212005.” Although unconfirmed, the year difference between the case and logic board suggests that this iPod may have served as a development prototype used by Apple for testing prior to the release of the second-generation model. Of further interest is the case’s serial number, which does not generate any results on Apple’s ‘Check Coverage’ database. Includes its original power cord. In fine, tested and working condition, with slight scuffing and a small, practically imperceptible dent to the case back. The presence of the red PCB or logic board is ostensibly due to its prototype nature; companies like Apple, Microsoft, or Sony often opted for different color boards to differentiate development stages and to prevent the prototypes from being resold or leaked as finished devices. A seemingly unique iPod Classic that was tested to bridge the development of Apple’s historic game-changing media players. Starting Bid $1,000

6139. Apple iPod (3rd Generation, Sealed, 15GB). Unopened third generation Apple iPod, Part No. M9460LL/A, Serial No. JQ406FYVQQF (15GB). The cube-shaped box features a white Apple logo on the top, and the sides have images of the iPod that highlight some of its new features: illuminated controls, a backlit LCD screen, and touch-sensitive scroll wheel and buttons. The underside of the box lists the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

The completely redesigned third-generation iPod, introduced by Apple in the spring of 2003, replaced the FireWire port with a new proprietary 30-pin Dock Connector and introduced the Touch Wheel, a completely non-mechanical interface with the four auxiliary buttons located in a row between the screen and the touch wheel. ‘The competition hasn’t even caught up with our first generation iPod, and we’re introducing our third generation,’ said Steve Jobs as he unveiled the music player. Starting Bid $300

6140. Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (2004, Sealed - 20GB).

In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

Released in early 2004 to extend the reach of the iPod to a broader audience, the iPod+HP was essentially a fourth generation iPod with the HP logo. However, the iPod+HP was an official HP product, as all repair issues were directed to an HP Authorized Service Center. HP later added the iPod mini, the iPod photo, and the iPod shuffle to the lineup, but the partnership ultimately ended a year later when HP terminated the deal. Starting Bid $300

6142.

Apple iPod Classic (6th Generation, Sealed - Black, 80GB). Unopened sixth generation Apple iPod Classic, Part No. PB148C/A (80GB, Black), Serial No. 8M740RE2YMV. The box features front and side views of the player, with the device’s specifications on the back in English and French (as it was packaged for sale in the Canadian market). In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

The ‘classic’ suffix was formally introduced with the rollout of the sixthgeneration iPod on September 5, 2007, in order to help distinguish it from the new iPod Touch and Nano. ‘The first iPod put 1,000 songs in your pocket—this new iPod classic can put 40,000 songs in your pocket,’ said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. ‘With a thinner, all-metal enclosure and an enhanced user interface, the iPod classic is ideal for people who want to hold everything on their iPod.’ Starting Bid $200

Unveiled on February 23, 2005, the popular secondgen device saw a price reduction and improved battery life: ‘The iPod mini is now available at the magic price point of $199,’ said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. ‘At this breakthrough price point, and with more than twice the battery life, the new iPod mini should appeal to even more music lovers.’ The iPod Mini quickly gained popularity due to its compact size, stylish design, and impressive storage capacity, and became one of Apple’s best-selling iPod models. The iPod Mini was ultimately discontinued by Apple a year later in September 2005, as the company shifted its focus to the iPod Nano, which offered a slimmer design and flash-based storage. Starting Bid $200

6144. Apple iPod Nano (1st Generation, Sealed - 2GB, Black). Unopened first generation original black Apple iPod Nano, Part No. MA099LL/A (2GB), Serial No. 5U62893STJT.

In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

On September 7, 2005, Apple introduced the iPod Nano at a media event with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking, ‘Ever wonder what this pocket is for?’ With much of the emphasis on its small size—1.6? wide, 3.5? long, and .27? thick, with a weight of 42 grams—the Nano also served as a worthy replacement for the adored but short-lived iPod Mini. Per Jobs: ‘The iPod Nano is the biggest revolution since the original iPod. We’ve taken the best-selling MP3 player in the world and made it better with a thinner design, color screen, and a brand new user interface.’ Starting Bid $200

Sometimes it’s good to mix things up. With iPod shuffle your music is never the same experience twice. How does it know which song to play next? Can it read your mind? Can it read your moods? Load it up. Put it on. See where it takes you 240 songs, a million different ways.” In brand new, factory-sealed condition, with some minor scuffing to the plastic blister packaging.

Introduced on January 11, 2005, as the smallest member of the iPod family, the iPod Shuffle was Apple’s first iPod to use flash memory and takes the form factor of a USB thumbdrive—complete with removable cap. The iPod Shuffle’s success effectively made Apple the global leader in the flash player market, just as the hard disk–based iPod had done upon its introduction in 2001. In his September 2006 keynote presentation, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that Apple had sold 10 million first-generation iPod Shuffles. Starting Bid $200

It offered a rich multimedia experience, access to a wide range of applications, and the freedom to browse the web and stay connected on the go with its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Per Steve Jobs at the device’s unveiling on September 5, 2007: ‘The iPod Touch is the most advanced iPod we have ever created. It features a revolutionary multitouch interface, stunning 3.5-inch display, and a thin design. It’s like having the whole internet in your pocket.’ Starting Bid $200

Apple Marketing Memorabilia

One-of-a-kind Chiat/Day storyboard display for Apple’s iconic ‘1984’ introductory TV commercial for the Macintosh, presented to Apple’s Marketing Communications department

6150. Apple Chiat/Day Storyboard Photostat Display for the ‘1984’ Macintosh Television Commercial - From the Collection of Clement Mok. Storyboard display created by advertising agency Chiat/Day and given to Apple’s Marketing Communications (Marcom) department before the launch of Apple Computer’s iconic ‘1984’ television commercial, which famously introduced the Macintosh computer to a national audience during Super Bowl XVIII on January 22, 1984. Presented on a black 22 x 36 posterboard, the display consists of eight color photostat images from the original hand-drawn ‘1984’ storyboard, with seven measuring 4 x 3 and the largest, which depicts a line of people marching through a long tunnel, measuring 16.75 x 13.75. The lower portion bears an affixed label with the Apple rainbow logo and printed text: “On January 19th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984.’” In fine condition, with peeling to the photostat images, one of which is missing, and some bumping to posterboard edges.

This very display can be seen in an excerpt from an Apple promotional video that features an interview with the commercial’s famed director, Ridley Scott, who offered his thoughts upon first viewing of the storyboard: ‘The board, I thought, was one of two things. I thought, my god, they’re mad because this is terrific from a filmic point of view, and I know exactly how to do a kind of pastiche on what 1984 may be in dramatic terms rather than factual terms, right? And I thought it was such a dramatic idea that it would be either totally successful or we’d all get put in state pen.’

As quoted from Rebecca Keegan’s 2022 interview with Scott in The Hollywood Reporter: ‘When the agency, Chiat/Day, pitched Ridley on directing a spot for Apple, he thought they were talking about The Beatles. ‘They said, ‘No, no, no. Apple is this guy called Steve Jobs.’ I went, ‘Who the fuck is Steve Jobs?’ They said, ‘It’s probably going to be something.’’ Scott read the script and thought, ‘My God. They’re not saying what it is, they’re not showing what it is. They’re not even saying what it does. It was advertising as an art form. It was devastatingly effective.’’ Starting Bid $300

Presented on a black 24 x 28.5 posterboard, the display consists of four scanned and digitized images from the original hand-drawn ‘1984’ storyboard, with each image approximately measuring 10.25 x 7.25. The lower portion bears an affixed glossy sheet with white printed text: “On January 19th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984.’” The reverse of the posterboard is annotated in blue ballpoint, “Ridley Scott Board.” In very good to fine condition, with peeling and some scattered stains and tears to the images, an area of felt tip cover-up to the tagline sheet, and wear to posterboard edges.

The Hero Award is rumored to have come with $5000 in cash. As an extra bonus, Steve Jobs himself organized Grimm’s family to vacation at Disneyland and stay in one of the rooms at the Disneyland Hotel. Starting Bid $200

6161. Apple Computer ‘Corporate Identity Guidelines’ Manual (1985). Rare, wonderfully maintained original Apple Computer, Inc. ‘Corporate Identity Guidelines’ manual from 1985, housed in its original three-ring binder, 8.5 x 11.75, with Apple ‘rainbow’ logo and “Corporate Identity Guidelines” printed on the front cover and spine. This manual was distributed to Apple employees to ensure a unified brand identity by defining key elements like logo usage, color schemes, and typography. The manual contains the following sections (and subsections): Logo (Introduction, Color Standards, Three-color Process, Background Colors, Color Variations, Reversed to White, Staging), Trademarks (Legal Guidelines), Logotypes (Corporate Logotype, Product Logotypes), Signatures (Legal Signature, International Signature, Authorized Dealer), Type Styles (Primary Type Style, Secondary Type Style), Stationery (Business Cards, Letterhead, Envelopes), Grids (Introduction, Layouts for U.S.A., Layouts for International), Signage (Interior, Exterior), Vehicle (Graphic Guidelines), Color Matching (Logo Colors, Logo Color Intensity, Apple Gray, Apple Red), and Reproduction Art.

Of considerable interest is the Logo section, touted as “the primary link and support for all elements and expressions of Apple’s Corporate Identity Program,” Apple’s type style in variations of ITC Garamond and Helvetica, the precise design dimensions for its iconic stationery, and its Color Matching section containing 25 pages with perforated “color swatches that can be removed and sent with mechanical reproduction art as a visual color match reference.”

The manual’s introduction reads: “Everywhere in the world the Apple logo appears, it’s our way of showing our true colors. It is extremely valuable to us—a reflection of Apple quality, Apple innovation, Apple reliability, Apple friendliness. Enormous effort has gone into these Corporate Identity Guidelines to define and refine all the elements that make up Apple’s unmistakable presence. We’ve included standards for everything from colors and sizes for the Apple logo to type styles, trademarks, and legal requirements. We’ve worked hard to shape Apple’s corporate identity, and we must work equally hard to protect what we’ve created. Make every effort, therefore, to follow these guidelines.” In fine condition, with torn binder holes only to the front cover. Accompanied by the original cardboard shipping box with Apple Computer label, postmarked on May 7, 1985. A pristine copy of this impressive Apple Computer guideline manual, essentially stored in a time capsule for four decades. The manual meticulously reveals Apple’s design-centric ethos at a time when the company was going through notable change: unpleased with the direction of CEO John Sculley, co-founder Steve Jobs resigned from Apple on September 17, 1985; Steve Wozniak also quit his active employment at Apple earlier in 1985 due to Apple’s treatment of the Apple II division. Despite these seismic departures, Apple continued to forge ahead, relying on its tried and true design standards and principles to launch products like Macintosh XL, Apple Enhanced IIe, Apple ImageWriter II, and Apple Hard Disk 20.

Ultra rare NeXT logo presentation booklet

6168. NeXT Logo Presentation Booklet - From the Collection of Clement Mok. Original presentation booklet for the NeXT logo designed by important graphic artist Paul Rand, 20 pages, 8.5 x 12, privately printed in 1986. The fascinating booklet concisely explicates Rand’s design philosophy and walks through his creative process in developing the NeXT logo. After selecting a typeface, Rand observes: “Personal preferences, prejudices, and stereotypes often dictate what a logo looks like, but it is needs, not wants, ideas, not type styles which determine what its form should be.” He goes on to defamiliarize the common word ‘next,’ by making the ‘e’ lowercase and placing the letters into a cube. In the final steps, he adds color and demonstrates the versatility of the logo with its infinite scalability. In fine condition, with trivial light marks to covers and textblock.

When Rand presented Steve Jobs with the NeXT logo, he gave him one of these books and watched silently as Jobs perused it. Jobs later recalled: ‘The book itself was a surprise. I was convinced that each typographic example on the first few pages was the final logo. I was not quite sure what Paul was doing until I reached the end. And at that moment I knew we had a solution…Rand gave us a jewel, which in retrospect seems so obvious.’ A rare and prized piece of graphic arts ephemera due to Rand’s universal recognition as one of America’s greatest commercial artists: in addition to NeXT, he created the logos for IBM, UPS, Enron, Westinghouse, ABC, and many more.

A Student’s Guide,’ 16 pages, 7.5 x 7.5, published by Apple Computer in 1989, and illustrated by Simpsons creator Matt Groening, who, in addition to the front and back covers, provided nine character drawings of college student types, such as ‘The Clueless,’ ‘The Schizoid,’ ‘The Procrastinator,’ ‘The Imperfectionist,’ ‘The Unemployed,’ ‘The Starving Student,’ ‘The Technoid,’ ‘The Stressed’ and ‘The Overwhelmed,’ the latter two characters represented by the one-eared rabbit Bongo from Groening’s popular Life in Hell comic strip; interestingly, the designs of the ‘Procrastinator’ and the ‘Technoid’ resemble those of Simpsons characters Nelson Muntz and Milhouse Van Houten, respectively.

Color 23.25 x 32 poster entitled “Bongo’s Dream Dorm,” which shows the one-eared Life in Hell character in bed dreaming about an incredible dorm containing a swimming pool (with pet dolphin), a shark-filled moat, a helicopter pad, a robot chef, a circular revolving waterbed, and, of course, a Macintosh computer. The lower portion features a red Apple logo below the text: “Macintosh. Part of every student’s wildest dreams.”

Extra-large white t-shirt with the front featuring the same “Bongo’s Dream Dorm” image drawing, and the back with the red Apple logo and text: “Macintosh. Part of every student’s wildest dreams.” In overall fine condition, with a pinhole to the top of booklet, a small stain to the front of shirt, and a small area of dampstaining to the bottom edge of poster.

Intent on marketing squarely to college students, Apple hired the drawing talents of Matt Groening, whose Life in Hell comic strip and subsequent spin-off books had successfully found their way into youth culture. Coincidentally, the very year these items were released, Groening’s The Simpsons made its series premiere on Fox Television with a half-hour Christmas special on December 17, 1989. A rare, humorous, and fascinating mash-up of Groening-meets-Apple merchandise. Starting Bid $300

“So revolutionary that it immediately obsoletes everything before it”—Apple’s internal marketing plan for the pioneering Macintosh

6206. Apple: 1983 Macintosh

Introduction Plan - “So revolutionary that it immediately obsoletes everything before it”. Original spiralbound “Macintosh Product Introduction Plan,” 9 x 11, 106 pages, with the title page reading: “7 October 1983, Company Confidential, Reproduction Prohibited, Document Number: 72.” The fascinating document offers a summary of the Macintosh product and outlines a detailed marketing plan to include national advertisements, promo materials, educational resources, and support for software developers. In particular, the plan offers insight into Apple’s business strategy during the era, with commentary on target demographics: “Macintosh is an advanced personal productivity tool for knowledge workers.” The plan sees medium businesses as the main target market, followed by home/ home businesses, small businesses, large businesses, universities, and scientific/ industrial firms.

A significant “Competitive Analysis” section foresees potential attacks by IBM and offers Apple’s responses to criticisms involving lack of expandability, limited hardware, lack of software, and incompatibility with other Apple products (the Macintosh is “so revolutionary that it immediately obsoletes everything before it”), among others.

The plan also offers messaging guidelines for Apple’s marketers, PR people, and retailers. Although the advertising plan does include “Announce Mac on network TV,” there is no reference to the famous ‘1984’ ad, which aired on CBS during the broadcast of Super Bowl XVIII on January 22, 1984. According to this timeline, the original plan was to ‘tease’ the Mac throughout the month of January before announcing it on January 29th, followed by advertisements during the Winter Olympics (February 7-19). As it happens, the Macintosh got its blockbuster tease during the Super Bowl and was formally introduced two days later on January 24th.

Other intriguing facets of the plan include Apple’s international strategy, distribution channels, sales forecasts, introduction events, and more. Moreover, the final page highlights a key business use of the Macintosh: “This is a sample of high resolution printing using Macintosh and an Apple Imagewriter Printer. As you can see, the quality is excellent. We expect this level of print quality to be acceptable to processionals for all office communications.” In fine condition, with light soiling to the covers and minor handling wear. Starting Bid $500

Apple Computer

—“Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.”— rare in-house

ad from Apple’s Creative Services department,

a

cutting retort to Steve Jobs’ ‘Congratulations’ letter in The Wall Street Journal

6212. Apple Computer Wall Street Journal Parody Advertisement“Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.”. Extremely rare parody full-page Wall Street Journal newspaper advertisement printed by the Creative Services department of Apple Computer, with the bold uncensored headline, “Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.,” an in-house spoof printed as an acerbic alternative to Steve Jobs’s gracious full-page ‘thank you’ letter to the New York City advertising agency following Apple’s dismissal of the company on May 27, 1986. Jobs, then no longer with Apple, had his letter printed in The Wall Street Journal on the same day. It featured the famous headline: “Congratulations, Chiat/Day. Seriously.” In fine condition. The consignor notes that several of these full-page ads were surreptitiously printed and placed into Wall Street Journal newspapers for Apple employees to discover.

A fascinating piece of Apple Computer history that reveals the internal frustrations of the company’s creative department with Chiat/Day, the agency responsible for some of Apple’s most memorable advertising campaigns, including the legendary ‘1984’ Super Bowl commercial, which introduced the Macintosh computer. When Apple parted ways with the agency in 1986, the decision was made under the leadership of then-CEO John Sculley, who opted to switch to the agency BBDO1. Steve Jobs, who had left Apple the previous year and collaborated closely with Lee Clow, the creative director at Chiat/Day, publicly criticized this move, suggesting it indicated a shift away from Apple’s innovative spirit. As such, his “Congratulations” letter to the agency was also an unsubtle parting shot at Apple. From the collection of Dennis Gobets. Starting Bid $200

Apple goes public—historic IPO prospectus booklets documenting the company’s milestone offer of 4,600,000 shares of Apple Computer common stock

6238. Apple Computer, Inc. Original IPO Prospectus (December 12, 1980) with Original Preliminary Prospectus . Rare pairing of original prospectus booklets printed for the historic IPO (initial public offering) of Apple Computer, Inc., on December 12, 1980. Underwritten by investment banks Morgan Stanley & Co. and Hambrecht & Quist, the final issued prospectus, 47 pages, 8.5 x 10.75, offers 4,600,000 shares of Apple Computer common stock at $22 per share, with the offering summary below reading: “Of the 4,600,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, 4,000,000 shares are being sold by the Company and 600,000 outstanding shares are being sold by the Selling Shareholders as set forth under ‘Selling Shareholders.’ The Company will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Shareholders. Prior to this offering there has been no public market for the Common Stock. See ‘Underwriters’ for a discussion of the factors to be considered in determining the public offering price.” A price and proceeds table below reveals that of the $101,200,000 total price to public ($22), $5,980,000 are paid as ‘Underwriting Discounts and Commissions,’ with $82,800,000 of proceeds received by the company and $12,420,000 of proceeds received by selling shareholders.

The first page features the company mission statement: “Apple Computer, Inc. designs, develops, produces, markets and services microprocessor-based personal computer systems for individual use in solving computing problems commonly encountered in business, education, science, engineering and in the home. Products manufactured and distributed by Apple are sold in the United States and Canada through approximately 800 independent retail computer stores, and internationally through 21 independent distributors which resell to approximately 1,000 retail dealers. Apple’s products are primarily serviced in the United States and Canada by approximately 700 of the retail stores and in other countries by independent retail dealers.” The table of contents contains the following sections: Prospectus Summary, The Company, Use of Proceeds, Capitalization, Dividends, Shares Eligible for Future Sale, Dilution, Selected Financial Data, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Business, Management, Certain Transactions, Certain Shareholders, Selling Shareholders, Description of

Securities, Underwriters, Legal Opinions, Experts, Additional Information, and Index to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Included with the final prospectus is a preliminary prospectus prepared by Morgan Stanley & Co. and Hambrecht & Quist and issued on November 6, 1980, 45 pages, 8.5 x 11, which lists the initial offer of 4,500,000 shares of Apple Computer common stock but without a confirmed individual share price. Unlike the final prospectus, the offering summary of the preliminary document notes that “500,000 outstanding shares are being sold by the Selling Shareholders” and that the anticipated IPO “will be in the range of $14 to $17 per share.” In overall fine condition.

By 1980, Apple had achieved remarkable growth and was ready to take the next big step toward expansion. To secure the capital needed for its ambitious plans and offer liquidity to early investors, the company’s board of directors decided to take Apple public. In October of that year, Apple submitted its IPO filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with the underwriting team of Morgan Stanley and Hambrecht & Quist playing key roles in setting the initial stock price and overseeing the share distribution.

On December 12, 1980, Apple made history by officially going public with shares offered at $22 each, a number reflecting the company’s current success and its future potential. The market’s response was extraordinary; by the close of its first trading day, Apple’s stock had surged to $29 per share, a 32% increase that underscored investor enthusiasm and confidence in the company’s vision and leadership. The IPO raised $110 million, provided Apple with the resources to pursue its growth plans, and made instant millionaires of co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

Jobs later reflected: ‘Going public was a very big deal for Apple. It provided us with the resources we needed to invest in research and development, to build out our manufacturing capabilities, and to expand our marketing efforts. It was a crucial step in our journey to become the company we are today.’ Starting Bid $500

Computer History

Coding keyset developed by computer visionary Doug Engelbart, as used in the ‘Mother of All Demos’

6273. Douglas Engelbart: Coding Keyset Input Device. Scarce chorded keyset input device created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, similar to the type used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The keyset, made in an uncommon black-and-brown theme, measures 5? x 5.5? x 1.25? and features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands. The underside of the keyset is padded in cork, and it retains its gray cord terminating in a Cannon serial connector. In very good to fine condition, with the second and third keys somewhat sticky; the others travel well.

The five-button coding keyset was first publicly demonstrated in the ‘Mother of All Demos,’ where Engelbart presented many of the technological ideas that are now commonplace—including the computer mouse, hypertext, multiple windows, video conferencing, and shared editing of online documents. The keyset was meant to supplement—not replace—a traditional keyboard. Where a keyboard required a user to lift their hand from the mouse and look away from the screen, the keyset allowed them to continue using the mouse while typing by pressing down multiple switches simultaneously to make ‘chords,’ like a piano player. Using binary code, each ‘chord’ would input a specific character.

The keyset and Engelbart’s three-button mouse also worked together—the keyset’s 31 combinations permitted input of all 26 letters of the alphabet, plus standard punctuation marks (comma, period, semicolon, question mark, and space). Used in conjunction with the keyset, the mouse buttons functioned as shift and command keys: with the middle button pressed, letters shifted to uppercase and other punctuation marks were accessible; pressing the left mouse button allowed entry of numbers and a further selection of punctuation and symbols.

The ‘Mother of All Demos’ would prove to be massively influential, though it took well over a decade for Engelbart’s ideas to become mainstream. In the early 1970s, much of Engelbart’s original team ended up at Xerox PARC, where they continued their research in human-computer interaction and kept improving upon the mouse. While touring Xerox PARC in 1979, Steve Jobs witnessed the concepts of the mouse and the graphical user interface (GUI) in action. Impressed by their user-friendliness, he aimed to simplify and incorporate these intuitive features into Apple’s computers. Starting Bid $1000

Early three-button ‘X-Y’ computer mouse developed at SRI by Doug Engelbart

6274. Douglas Engelbart: X-Y Axis Three-Button Mouse. Sought-after, early example of the three-button computer mouse designed by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, measuring approximately 4” x 2.75” x 2.5”, which utilizes two metal discs (corresponding to the X-axis and Yaxis) on the bottom to locate the position of the cursor, rather than a ball or optical light that came to be used later. The mouse’s cord has been removed, and the buttons are somewhat wobbly.

Computer visionary Douglas Engelbart is remembered for founding the field of human–computer interaction and for his development of the computer mouse. His original patent for an ‘X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System’ was filed in 1967 and introduced at the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) of Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Menlo Park, California, the next year, in ‘The Mother of All Demos.’

The ‘Mother of All Demos’ would prove to be massively influential, though it took well over a decade for Engelbart’s ideas to become mainstream. In the early 1970s, much of Engelbart’s original team ended up at Xerox PARC, where they continued their research in human-computer interaction and kept improving upon the mouse. While touring Xerox PARC in 1979, Steve Jobs witnessed the concepts of the mouse and the graphical user interface (GUI) in action. Impressed by their user-friendliness, he aimed to simplify and incorporate these intuitive features into Apple’s computers.

The Xerox mouses cost $300 apiece, didn’t roll around smoothly, and had three buttons. Jobs wanted a simple, single-button model that cost $15. Apple licensed Engelbart’s mouse patent from SRI for around $40,000, and Jobs hired the design firm IDEO to bring the mouse to the masses. Apple’s mouse—which used a rollerball mechanism—was introduced with the expensive Lisa computer in 1983, but achieved fame and popularity when the more affordable Macintosh was released in 1984. Starting Bid $1000

One-of-a-kind Apple Macintosh mouse signed by tech visionaries Douglas Engelbart, Robert Metcalfe, Ted Nelson, and Dan Bricklin

6275. Tech Innovators Multi-Signed (4) Apple Macintosh Mouse: Douglas Engelbart, Robert Metcalfe, Ted Nelson, and Dan Bricklin. Apple Macintosh Desktop Bus Mouse signed in black felt tip by four notable innovators of the computer industry: Douglas Engelbart, the creator of the computer mouse (left side); Robert Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet and Metcalfe’s Law (top); Ted Nelson, who coined the terms hypertext and hypermedia (right side); and Dan Bricklin, the co-creator of VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program (underside). In fine condition. A significant, oneof-a-kind assemblage of four tech visionaries who helped shape the foundations of modern computing, networking, and information systems.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, Patrick Rafter, a technology communications veteran and co-founder of the Nantucket Conference, an annual gathering of technology executives, thought leaders, academics, and investors to foster the growth of New England as a global hub for entrepreneurship, international trade, and new ideas. Regarding the Engelbart and Nelson signatures, Rafter writes: “In 1991-92, I directed marketing, PR, speakers’ programs & partnerships for The American Information Exchange (AMiX), the world’s first online information marketplace & e-mail based service connecting clients with

consultants…The company was closely affiliated with Project Xanadu, the first hypertext project (founded by Ted Nelson, and championed by Doug Engelbart and John Walker, founder of AutoDesk). At an all-hands company meeting at AMIX/Xanadu offices (2325 Yale St., Palo Alto, CA) on Thursday, February 6, 1992, I asked for and received the signatures of these two computer industry influencers.”

Rafter on obtaining the Bricklin and Metcalfe signatures: “Through attending Nantucket Conference each year for fourteen years, I had the opportunity to meet and talk with a large number of notable computer industry leaders, including the Founders/CEOs of companies including Adobe, Avid Technology, Craigslist, Google, Kayak, IDG, Monster.com, Nuance, Skype, Sun Microsystems, TripAdvisor, and ZipCar.

On May 4, 2001, while attending the 2001 Nantucket Conference, I approached Dan Bricklin (with whom I had previously worked at Trellix), asked for, and received his autograph on my 1992 Apple Macintosh mouse. One year later, on May 4, 2002 (during the 2002 Nantucket Conference), while chatting with Bob Metcalfe (a multi-year participant and speaker at the conference), I asked for, and received Metcalfe’s signature on my 1992 Apple Macintosh mouse.” Starting Bid $500

Google co-founder Sergey Brin cuts a $20,000 check to Stanford University, holder of the PageRank patent

6276. Google: Sergey Brin Signed Check to Stanford University - PSA MINT 9. Historic Google, Inc. business check, 6 x 2.75, filled out in type and signed by Brin, “Sergey Brin,” payable to Stanford University for $20,000, May 27, 1999. Google’s address is given as “165 University Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94301,” otherwise known as the ‘Lucky Building’ or ‘Karma Building.’ In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”

Google, Inc. was officially incorporated on September 7, 1998, by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, as a way to bring their ‘PageRank’ algorithm—an improved method of ranking internet search results, developed in the course of their Stanford doctoral work—to the masses. This large check, written just eight months later, may have been a payment for the license to PageRank: the patent for the pioneering algorithm was assigned to Stanford University, but Google held exclusive license rights on that patent.

Having received several million dollars in venture capital investments, Google, Inc. had just moved out of its Menlo Park garage (at the home of Susan Wojcicki) and into its first real office space in Palo Alto’s ‘Lucky Building’—famed as an incubator for several noted Silicon Valley startups. In addition to documenting the connection between Google, Inc. and Stanford University, this check represents Google’s early, rapid growth—the firm occupied the ‘Lucky Building’ for only a few months before needing to move to a larger space, a victim of its own success.

The consignor notes: “In August of 1998, Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check to Google for $100,000 becoming the initial investor in the company. Later in 1998 there was additional investment in the company including $250,000 by Jeff Bezos in November 1998. With this additional funding and with the number of employees growing, the company moved into the first office space at 165 University Avenue in Palo Alto in March of 1999…I joined the company in April of 2002. I worked in the Finance department as the manager of Disbursements and Payroll. I was the first manager level hired in the Finance department. I came across these checks as we were moving from one location to another, as we did frequently. The checks were to be discarded to make room for other files. The company was growing very fast at the time. I kept them thinking it would be fun to have from a historical perspective.” Starting Bid $200

PageRank innovator and Google co-founder Larry Page files for patent in 1999

6277. Google: Larry Page Signed Check for Patent Application - PSA MINT 9. Historic Google, Inc. business check, 6 x 2.75, filled out in type and signed by Page, “Lawrence Page,” payable to patent attorneys Limbach & Limbach L.L.P. for $768.56, May 11, 1999, with the memo noting: “3/31/99 patent application.” Google’s address is given as “165 University Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94301,” otherwise known as the ‘Lucky Building’ or ‘Karma Building.’ In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”

Although their PageRank patent was assigned to Stanford University, Google held exclusive license rights on that patent. As the company continued to innovate, they routinely filed for new patents to protect novel ideas and intellectual property: Google has reportedly amassed an impressive patent portfolio consisting of over 117,979 patents globally, more than 70% of which remain active.

6286. Gordon Moore (3) Signed Books - The Feynman Lectures on Physics - From Moore’s Collection. American engineer and co-founder of Intel Corporation (1929–2023) who proposed Moore’s law, which makes the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years. Signed book set: The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vols. I–III, by Richard P. Feynman, Ralph Leighton, and Matthew Sands. First, third, and second printings respectively. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1963–1965.

Book condition: VG-/None, with wear and sunning to spines, minor bumps to corners, and shelf markings to the spines of Vols. II and III.

During this period, Moore was working as director of research and development at Fairchild Semiconductor and on the precipice of authoring his famous work—a year later, he began formulating ‘Moore’s law’ in an essay entitled ‘Cramming more components onto integrated circuits,’ published in Electronics magazine. In the article, Moore observes the log-linear relationship between device complexity and time, and posits a yearly doubling in the number of components that can be fit onto an

integrated circuit. This doubling facilitated the ever greater miniaturization and processing power of electronic devices.

In 1975, Moore slowed his prediction of a future rate of increase in complexity to ‘a doubling every two years, rather than every year.’ Now known as ‘Moore’s Law,’ this observation has been a driving force for progress in the semiconductor industry—it has been widely adopted as both a guide for long-term planning and in setting targets for research and development. It is this ever-increasing level of miniaturization that has reduced a room-sized mainframe to a handheld tablet, and made it exponentially more useful. That Moore was able to accurately establish this outlook in a 1965 essay, just as computers were shifting from the transistor to the integrated circuit, is truly remarkable.

Interestingly, Moore had taken classes from Feynman while studying at Caltech. Recalling those lectures, Moore said: ‘Listening to Feynman was a treat. It was physics taught by a Brooklyn taxi driver. He had the ability to make you think you understood everything he told you. I’d sit through one of his seminars and think, ‘Boy, this is marvelous. Now I understand.’ I’d try to explain it to somebody and had no idea how you got from here to there. Feynman would pull the wool over your eyes, and you didn’t realize what was happening. It was a lot of fun’ (see: Moore’s Law by Thackeray, Brock and Jones, p. 100). Starting Bid $200

6289. IBM Simon Personal Communicator - The First True Smartphone. Desirable IBM Simon Personal Communicator (simply known as IBM Simon), which has been retrospectively referred to as the first true smartphone due to Simon’s features and capabilities. Designed by IBM and manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric, this innovative handheld, touchscreen PDA (personal digital assistant) was distributed in the United States by BellSouth Cellular Corp. between August 1994 and February 1995, selling 50,000 units. The Simon was the first PDA to include telephony features (make phone calls). The kit includes the Simon Personal Communicator, stylus, two rechargeable batteries, docking station, protective leather case, user’s manual, and Cellular One service documentation. The unit is untested and in fine cosmetic condition.

The IBM Simon is widely regarded as one of the first devices that could be termed a ‘smartphone’—although, when it was launched, it was characterized as a PDA with communication capabilities via a cellular connection, the result of IBM’s desire to design a ‘computer that could fit in your shirt pocket.’ Applications included on the Simon beyond the phone were an address book, e-mail support (via Lotus cc:Mail), a calculator, a calendar, the ability to send a fax, a notepad, a world clock, a file manager, a sketch pad and paging support (via a ‘paging card’ that could be inserted into the PCMCIA slot on the device).

The Simon also had a stylus that allowed users to draw on the screen offering the breakthrough capability of being able to write or draw on the phone and have the content sent as fax. The PDA could also be used to type by selecting letters on a QWERTY keyboard that was displayed on the screen. IBM also introduced a technology called ‘predictive keyboard’ on the Simon. When using this function, only a portion of the keyboard was displayed on the LCD and when a user selected a letter, Simon would predict the next letters the user was most likely to choose and display them on the screen.

The ultimate Star Wars collectible— original fully functional ‘cockpit version’ of Atari’s legendary Star Wars arcade video game

6308. Atari: Star Wars Arcade Video Game (1983)Cockpit Version. Hugely coveted original ‘cockpit-version’ of the Star Wars arcade video game released by Atari, Inc. in 1983. The original ‘cockpit’ cabinet, approximately 73.5˝ x 56˝ x 25.25˝, features incredible action-packed designs to the side panels, which show Darth Vader with his red lightsaber looming behind the Death Star, with the balance consisting of X-Wing and TIE fighters battling across a star-filled galaxy; the marquee bears a similar design with the game’s title centered prominently in vibrant, explosive color. Two powerful speakers are situated behind the modest bench seat and the game’s control panel, which consists of a yoke with four buttons – two trigger style and two in position to be pressed by the thumbs – realistically emulates the flight controls of Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing. The console’s large screen delivers beautiful 3D color vector graphics and a window to the cabinet rear offers spectators an exciting backseat view. The interior of the machine is clean and well-maintained, with all wiring and components securely in place. The back panel displays the original Atari

manufacturing label, which lists model (27903) and serial (SD01 597) numbers. In fine, fully functioning condition. One of the most advanced and immersive arcade games of its time, Star Wars utilized game-changing vector graphics to recreate the experience of piloting Luke Skywalker’s X-wing fighter in the Star Wars universe. Designed by Mike Hally, the first-person rail shooter consisted of three connected gameplay sequences: combat against TIE fighters in space, flying across the surface of the Death Star, and the final trench run. With its tight controls, smooth animations, and overall brilliant presentation, the ‘cockpit’ version of Satr Wars was further elevated by its dynamic sound design, which featured digitized speech and music from Star Wars: A New Hope. Unsurprisingly, the game was Atari’s top-selling 1983 arcade release, with Atari producing 12,695 arcade cabinets. A marvelous example of one of the greatest arcade games of all time, which remains a true Golden Age classic and arguably one of the best uses of a license ever in a video game. Starting Bid $300

Museum-quality example of Bally’s influential Goofy pinball machine

6310. Bally ‘Goofy (Senior)’ Pinball Machine (1932). Original Goofy (Senior) ‘pure mechanical’ pinball machine released by the Bally Manufacturing Corporation circa October 1932. The tabletop machine, 16.25˝ x 33.5˝ x 9˝, is comprised of its original wooden cabinet with a glass top, through which the player can observe the colorful playfield layout with arrow design patterns and 19 scoring options ranging from 100 to 1000 points, which includes an upper “Bally Hole.” The lower portion bears an “Out” gobble hole and a “Free Play” hole. The cabinet bears a ‘How to Operate’ label, a “10 Balls for 1¢” label, a sticker indicating that “Federal Excise Tax 10% Has Been Paid on this Machine,” and a golden “This Is a Game of Skill” notice sticker to the upper glass. The rear of the cabinet is marked “DY.” Includes its original coin door key and a set of 10 pinballs. In fine condition, with some wear to the labels. A gorgeous Depression-era pinball machine designed by Jack Firestone.

From Pinball History: ‘After releasing a few popular straight countertop pin games, Bally found itself facing increased competition from other manufacturers introducing unique playfield designs. For example, Gottlieb released Five Star Final which has a figure eight playfield geometry. Ray Moloney hired New York designer Jack Firestone to come up with a competitive Bally product. Jack designed a game whereby traditional Bally features, such as the Bally Hole (free ball) were maintained, yet it has attractive side alley shots that players could try to reach for additional points. The game was very popular and several knockoff clones were produced by other manufacturers leading to Bally pursuing legal action in order to stop the clones. As the advertising copy for Goofy, written by Herb Jones went: ‘Thru 32’ twas Ballyhoo ~ Goofy’ll smash all records too!’ Starting Bid $300

A true relic of early arcade gaming— an original 1931 Whiffle pinball machine from Automatic Industries, the first coin-op pinball machine in America

6309. Automatic Industries ‘Whiffle’ Pinball Machine (1931) - The Original American Coin-Operated Pinball Machine. Incredible, historic original Whiffle ‘pure mechanical’ pinball machine released by Automatic Industries, Inc., circa June 1931. Conceived by Arthur L. Paulin, a carpenter from Youngstown, Ohio, and designed by Paulin and his friend, Earl Froom, an electrical salesman, the Whiffle has long been touted as the first American coin-operated pinball machine. The tabletop machine, 18˝ x 38˝ x 10.25˝, is comprised of its original wooden cabinet with a glass top, through which the player can observe the playfield layout with upper horseshoe design, a multitude of bumper pegs, and a total of 32 scoring options ranging from 50 points to 3000 points, which includes a central ‘Double the Score’ hole with colorful ‘Whiffle Bird’ emblem. The game’s title sheet reads: “Play Whiffle, Everybody’s Game! Directions for Playing: 1. Place nickel [“penny” in an unknown hand] in slide and push in slowly to clear board of balls. 2. Turn side-wheel one-half turn to elevate each ball for play. 3. Pull out shooter and let go. With very little practice you will find that you will be able to place the balls where you want them, very much the same as on a pool table. NOTICE – The lessors will not be responsible for any gambling on this game as it is leased only for your entertainment.” The sheet bears an affixed “10 Balls for 1¢” label and the lower portion lists manufacturing and office locations in Kansas City, Missouri, Youngstown, Ohio, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In fine condition, with some dampstaining to the game sheet, a few missing cabinet screws, and several pins without their white rubber guards, with one or two cracked. Bidder notice: the game should not be played unless the fragile rubber pin guards are replaced.

According to the Internet Pinball Database: ‘In converting Arthur L. Paulin’s bagatelle design to an automatic coin-operated device, salesman Earl Froom solved a number of issues, including how to separate the player from the playfield (glass), how to recirculate the balls after play (playfield baffle/shuttle and ball elevator), and how to collect money (coin mechanism). What resulted was a game of such wild popularity in the United States that it caught the coin-op world by surprise and caused innumerable imitations by other companies, leading to the pinball patent wars.

We don’t know how many of these games were made, but The Encyclopedia of Pinball, Volume 1, page 29 quotes Earl Froom as saying, ‘We built 27,000 Whiffle games the first year’ in his lament that his game became, as author Dick Bueschel put it, ‘instantly obsolete’ in the face of competition from the very successful Bally’s 1932 ‘Ballyhoo’ of which approximately 50,000 units were produced.

Whiffle is the game most often associated with the birth of pinball, but according to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 1, the first true pinball was Charles P. Young’s ‘Coin Game Board’ trade stimulator of 1892, which was also glass-covered and coin-operated. The idea to add coin mechanisms to machines came even earlier, from British inventor Percival Everett, but it was Londoner Henry John Gerrard Pessers who was first to put a coin slot on a marble game, which was patented on September 29, 1889.’ Starting Bid $500

Pristine, museum-quality ‘pure mechanical’ SCREWY pinball machine by Bally (1932)

6311. Bally ‘Screwy’ Pinball Machine (1932). Original Screwy ‘pure mechanical’ pinball machine released by the Bally Manufacturing Corporation circa June 1932. The tabletop machine, 16.5˝ x 32˝ x 9˝, approximately 30 pounds, is comprised of its original wooden cabinet with a glass top, through which the player can observe the colorful ‘figure eight’ playfield layout, with matching scoring catches of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 800, and 1000 points. The game sheet to lower border reads: “SCREWY, Instructions / Insert coin in slot and push forward – to raise ball press lever underneath plunger / Rules – Yellow ball doubles score of that shot only.” Circles to either side read, “Game of Skill for Amusement Only,” and the sheet bears an affixed label: “7 Balls 1¢.” The top front edge of the frame is engraved, “1065,” and the coin slot is dated to May 1933. The coin door to cabinet rear is missing its key. In fine condition, with the plunger knob missing. When it was first released, Bally offered this game for $16.50 with an optional wood stand for $2.50 or a metal stand for $2.00. A beautiful Depression-era pinball machine designed by Bally founder Raymond Moloney. Starting Bid $300

Scarce 1931 example of Gottlieb’s popular pinball machine, Baffle Ball

6312. Gottlieb ‘Baffle Ball’ Pinball Machine (1931). Original Baffle Ball ‘pure mechanical’ pinball machine released by D. Gottlieb & Company circa November 1931. The tabletop machine, 16˝ x 27˝ x 9˝, is comprised of its original wooden cabinet with a glass top, through which the player can observe the attractive playfield layout with a baseball-inspired design that features numerous bumper pins, 11 bottom point gates (from 5 to 50 possible points), four major scoring pockets of 150, 250, 350, and 500 points, and an upper ‘Baffle Point’ pocket, which, per the scoring rules below, “doubles the score of the entire table providing you do not knock it off again.” The lower right notes “10 Balls for 1¢” and the game’s instructions. The rear cabinet door retains its original key. In fine condition, with some light wear to cabinet. An attractive Depression-era machine designed by pinball pioneer David Gottlieb.

Per the Internet Pinball Database: ‘According to the book Pinball 1, Baffle Ball was produced by Gottlieb in Chicago and also by Keeney and Sons in a separate Chicago facility but under Gottlieb’s direction. While both companies began production of this game in November 1931, Keeney was the first to have this game on the production line and was the first to advertise them. Gottlieb took care of all of the distribution details. Baffle Ball was ‘the first game to top the 50,000 mark in production and deliveries,’ but we do not know the exact quantity produced or how many of that quantity were made by each company. Neither Gottlieb nor Keeney put their company name on the games and the differences between the two productions (if any) are minimal, making it nearly impossible to tell them apart.’ Starting Bid $300

One of

two in private hands— Super Red Baron electro-mechanical arcade game, an early WW1 airplane cockpit shooter

6315. Super Red Baron Arcade Projector Game (Nutting, 1972). Rare restored Super Red Baron electro-mechanical arcade game manufactured by Nutting Industries (MCI) and originally released in 1972. Housed in its original cabinet, 24˝ x 72˝ x 30˝, with terrific World War I-themed designs to the lower panel, marquee, and side panels, which bear marvelous stenciled portraits of the Red Baron, who looks strikingly similar to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The control panel is meticulously designed to replicate a vintage aircraft dashboard, complete with functional fuel dials, alongside a joystick and buttons that deliver an authentic gaming experience. The arcade has been professionally restored and is in beautiful condition, with minimal scuffs and wear. The game functions at 85% and needs adjustment in several areas inside, but remains in working condition, with sounds, lights, and action. The cabinet is 100% complete with doors and keys and has wheels mounted on the bottom for easy transportation. One of two known to be in private collections, this Super Red Baron arcade is an exceptional piece for any serious collector or enthusiast of retro arcade games.

In 1971, Dave Nutting formed a new company called Milwaukee Coin Industries. MCI’s main business was the manufacture of projection screen games, crude ancestors to the laser disc games of the mid-80s that used images from a film disc or strip projected on a screen to create a realistic background for arcade games. MCI released several projection games including Red Baron, an inspiration for his Red Baron Amusement Center arcade locations that he opened in 1972. Starting Bid $500

Bidding

4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale,

or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

6.4 All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

6.5 In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to Bidder) to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the Consignor”).

der’s property in their possession.

Section 8

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges

Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

All duties, customs, and any other import charges are the responsibility of the bidder.

Section 9

Title

Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Section 10

Rights Reserved

RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Section 11

Conducting the Auction

11.1 RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

11.3 Reserves

Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

11.4 Off-Site Bidding

Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

11.5 Estimate Prices:

In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property:

RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

11.7 Before the Auction:

Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions:

To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages

the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.

11.9 Successful Bids:

The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

11.10

Unsold Lots:

If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction:

Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live

Auction:

Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays,

or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www.liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector.com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

11.13 Miscellaneous:

Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

Section 12

RR Auction’s Remedies

Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited

to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13 Warranties

13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

13.3 Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

13.4 All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14 Firearms

RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements

Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Section 16

Bidder’s Remedies

16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures.

16.3 Title to Items

The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction may make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

(1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy

as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner:

(1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and

(2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID.

16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17

RR Auction’s Additional Services

RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties.

Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches

In the event that Bidder provides false information in connection with registering for bidding, fails to correct or update information or breaches the Conditions of Sale by failing to pay the purchase price when due after becoming the winning bidder, as liquidated damages associated with such breaches, R&R may obtain from Bidder the greater of (1) 150% the reserve of the item (if any); (2) the amount bidder bid; or (3), the full amount that bidder would have otherwise paid. Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other damages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis.

20.8 Indemnity. Bidder agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless RR Auction (along with its officers, directors, agents, contractors, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, costs, fees, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to these Conditions of Sale, view of items, or lots, bidding, or participation in any auction by RR Auction, and/or or in any way connected to any item you viewed, bid upon or purchased through RR Auction.

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues

This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these

Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states:

Section 22

Glossary of Condition terms

Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows:

VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired:

Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
