After we posted
that neon Apple sign a little while back, reader Franco thought we'd get a kick out of
this Apple flag for sale on eBay, and he was right. The best news is that right now, it's
sitting pretty at only $10 (reserve not yet met, though) flying upwards-- what are you TUAW readers, rich?-- so you could own a little piece of Apple history
for cheap.
As for dating it, the page says the 80s. No mention of Macintosh might put it before 1984, but that's just a guess--
Apple IIs were known as the first "personal computers" and those were made all the way up until the early 1990s. I really love those fonts, though, and of course the rainbow logo is a classic.

People will buy anything off of eBay, especially when you throw Apple's name into the mix.

Definitely Apple ][-era.
BTW, I have several iMac banners (from the introduction of the colored range) I've been thinking of eBaying. Maybe TUAW could, uh, help a guy out?

@#1 - I've always thought Engadget was the king of promotion (cough~ Apple stock drop after false posting of delayed Leopard and iPhone).
