An Apple-1 computer owned by Apple’s first applications engineer, Dana Redington, has commanded quite the price on the auction block, along with a panoply of other Apple-related items.
In 1978, a pile of soon-to-be-discarded hardware was sitting in Steve Jobs‘ office as the company prepared for a move. With permission from both Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Redington carefully selected the motherboard and accessories from the pile.
Now, that same Apple-1 has sold for an impressive $315,914 at auction on August 22. As RR Auctions notes, the board, previously unknown to the Apple collecting community, has now been logged as #104 in the Apple-1 Registry.
Also in the auction was an Apple Lisa-1 computer with original ‘Twiggy’ drives, which sold for $81,251; a Steve Jobs’ signed check from 1976 which sold for $66,844; and Steve Jobs: 3 Apple-1 prototype Polaroid photographs, which sold for $54,904; among other items.
