Fred wasn\u2019t having it and kept the baby. Years later, he sold it in non-working condition for a tidy sum of $40,000, which went directly to supporting his dinner habit on Frenchmen Street in New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/15104112\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction-3.jpg\" alt=\"Hatfield Apple One Computer Signed Steve Wozniak Auction\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\"\/><br \/>Later, someone must have decided to restore it to its former glory, as it was last spotted being auctioned off in 2013. The price it fetched was a hefty $671,000, which is fair considering these Apple One computer was originally built in limited quantities of a mere 220 units, with just 175 of those sold.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/15104121\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction-4.jpg\" alt=\"Hatfield Apple One Computer Signed Steve Wozniak Auction\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\"\/><br \/>This example arrived at market during the company fiftieth anniversary year, carrying both the Wozniak signature and the Jobs letter that documents direct contact with the founders. Ian Ehling of Bonhams described the result as an exceptional outcome for one of the most important milestones in computing history and one of the most significant Apple One computers ever offered.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> &#8216;Hatfield&#8217; Apple One Computer Signed by Wozniak Sets New Record at $1.15-Million<br \/>\n<br \/>#Hatfield #Apple #Computer #Signed #Wozniak #Sets #Record #1.15Million<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bidding closed after twenty eight minutes of competition between two collectors when the Hatfield Apple&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[14697,843,604,14695,1369,1053,3981,14696],"class_list":["post-24115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-1-15million","tag-apple","tag-computer","tag-hatfield","tag-record","tag-sets","tag-signed","tag-wozniak"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction.jpg",960,640,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction.jpg",640,427,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction.jpg",960,640,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction.jpg",960,640,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction.jpg",960,640,false],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/hatfield-apple-one-computer-signed-steve-wozniak-auction-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news678.top\/?cat=8\" rel=\"category\">Tech<\/a>","tag_info":"Tech","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
