I know the owner had 4 Apple 1s in his possession in the early 90’s, and kept the best of the lot, including documentation. I presume that he could have received a box with one or more of them and saved the best one. On the other hand, Mike Newton did ship boxes with some of the units that he sold and it does look like a clone in that box. Scanning the web for images, it looks like Newton’s boxes are brown, not white like the original Apple 1 boxes seen in the well known image of Patty’s (not Steve’s) bedroom. Without seeing it in person, chatting with anyone concerned or having any financial interest, I’m leaning toward it being an original box.

The photo on the Breker website seems to have a Newton-1 replica inside it. I know Mike Newton was making replica boxes to sell with his clones.
