A huge collection of vintage Apple products and memorabilia is about to be auctioned off, including a Powerbook signed by Steve Jobs

A functioning Apple-1 computer from 1976, likely the most valuable item up for grabs. Another Apple-1, which was Apple's first desktop computer, sold for $470,000 at auction last year.

A 14" x 11" photograph of the Apple-1, signed by cofounder Steve Wozniak.

A Macintosh Portable, Apple's first battery-powered computer. The computer was largely considered a failure at the time, as it weighed as much as 15 pounds and cost more than $5,000.

A contract from 1977 to design the Apple II computer, signed by Steve Jobs.

An Apple II poster from 1977. The posters were used for the West Coast Computer Fair in San Francisco, which is where Apple debuted the Apple II.

A Macintosh 128K, Apple's first personal computer, from 1983. It has a plaque on the back that reads: "In Appreciation: Jerry Manock."

Manock's bonus memo from 1983, signed by Jobs.

A "Hero Award" medal Manock received in 1984. "Steve Jobs generously rewarded accomplishments that he valued," Manock told RR Auction. "This award, given in front of the Mac Team, was another surprise. It was accompanied by, I think, a check for $5,000."

A Macintosh PowerBook 190cs, a laptop with a color display released in 1995. It features another signature from Jobs on the back and the phrase "Happy Computing."

A set of seven Apple t-shirts. The red shirt, which was created by Apple staff, says "We Are Not Authorized to Comment on Unannounced Products" on the back.

A neon sign of Apple's rainbow "bitten" logo from around 1989.

Estimated value: $2,000

A hoodie Apple's staff wore right around the time Apple unveiled the Macintosh — and right before the famous "1984" Super Bowl commercial. The back of the sweatshirt reads "90 hrs/wk and loving it!"

A set of four Apple-made promotional beach towels.

A promotional "Apple Watch." The analog watch from 1998, which seemingly has no relation to today's Apple Watch, had an Apple logo on the face along with the phrase "Think different."

Estimated value: $400
