The computer, which had been estimated to sell for $300 Neymar Saint-Germain Jersey ,000 to $500,000, has an intact motherboard and a vintage keyboard and monitor. It also has a power supply contained in a wooden box and two tape decks, Bonhams said.
"The provenance on the Apple-1 is excellent and the condition is outstanding, so it was not surprising that it did so well," the auction house's specialist for the sale Edinson Cavani Saint-Germain Jersey , Cassandra Hatton, said in a statement. "We are thrilled to have broken the world record for its sale, and are even more thrilled that it is going to a wonderful new home at the Henry Ford Museum."

The auction was Bonhams' first in New York City of items connected to science and technology. Other lots included a letter by Charles Darwin to a colleague about the sex life of barnacles and the earliest electrical keyboard, a Helmholtz sound synthesizer from 1905. There were a number of globes, books and other documents and a telescope from 1870. There also was a framed painted portrait of Bill Gates.
In the letter Sebastien Cibois Jersey , which sold for $25,000, Darwin says he wants to learn more about the sex act of barnacles, such things as "were the specimens under water at times" and "if the recipient was in full vigor?"
