History

Acquired from a high school student in 1980 by the owner of the ComputerLand store in Belmont, John Christopher Burr.
The student was a regular visitor to the store and one day brought in two partial Apple-1 mainboards, stating that he had been given the machines by his science teacher, essentially as scrap because nobody wanted an Apple-1 anymore.
A technician working at the store purchased an Epson MX-80 dot-matrix printer from the store and traded it to the student for this Apple-1. It is listed as #57 in the Apple-1 Registry.

John Christopher Burr displayed the Apple-1 in a showcase in his ComputerLand store with a price tag of US$1,000,000. Steve Jobs told him that he should keep it because it would be worth a lot of money someday.

In 2019, Achim Baqué bought it. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, it was not possible to pick it up in the USA. It was shipped to Germany in November 2020. After it had been shipped, John agreed to have his name published. He is the longest-standing known owner, and for this reason, the Apple-1 is named after him.
In late 2021, Achim met John and his wife in the Bay Area. One photo shows them in front of the former ComputerLand store.
