Between their keys and their old screens, they tell a certain history of computing: more than 500 machines produced by Apple during the last fifty years will be auctioned at the end of March in California.
Fans of the firm created by Steve Jobs will be able to acquire these antiques, which trace the rise of one of the most influential brands in the world.
La collection “Hanspeter Luzi Vintage Apple Archive“has been collected for decades by a Swiss professor and entrepreneur, who is now parting with it. These old computers, once part of everyday life, are now “historical objects“explained to AFP Erik Rosenblum of the auction house Julien’s Auctions, which organizes this sale in Beverly Hills near Los Angeles.
Ils “really shaped the zeitgeist, and changed the way we work, learn, operate and communicate“, he added.
The collection includes an Apple II Plus, an antique produced between 1979 and 1982, which looks like a typewriter topped with a screen, and has a record player and a gamepad.
