Christie's auction Aug 23 2024

Christie's is apparently auctioning an Apple-1 in their upcoming "Firsts: The History of Computing from the Paul G. Allen Collection" auction. Anyone know which one that might be?

It's the one from Paul Allen

It's the one from Paul Allen's Living Computer Museum which was shut down after his death.

clarification

The Christie's auction of items from Paul G. Allen's estate is being run in three tranches, which seems to have confused some people. It includes two Apple Is.

The first Apple I is being auctioned on August 23–September 12. This was the machine sold to the owner of Computerland, and is #43 in the registry. A typed letter that Steve Jobs wrote to the owner, Ed Faber, is being auctioned separately on September 10.

The second is being auctioned September 10. It was the demonstration Apple that Jobs kept in his office, and is #70 in the registry.

Other Jobs-adjacent machines being auctioned are a Twiggy Lisa, a  68030 NeXT Computer, and a Pixar Image Computer. To bid on the items in the online auction, you must register before August 23.
