A still-working vintage Apple computer — one of only 50 made in Steve Jobs’ garage in 1976 — is among the unique pieces of science history up for auction this month. Buyers at the Oct. 22 event at Bonhams in New York will need deep pockets. The Steve Wozniak-designed Apple 1 computer is estimated to bring $300,000 to $500,000. One sold at auction last year for $671,000. The auction also includes the earliest electric keyboard, a rare 1905 Helmholtz sound synthesizer with a pre-sale estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. This is Bonhams’ first sale of artifacts of science and technology.
