At RR Auction, we pride ourselves on offering more than just artifacts—we bring history to life. Our recent auction proved that once again, with two standout lots capturing the attention of the world: Twitter’s iconic bird logo sign and a rare Apple-1 computer.
🐦 Twitter’s “Larry” Sign Soars to $34,375
The 12-by-9-foot, 560-pound blue bird sign—affectionately known as “Larry,” after Celtics legend Larry Bird—once perched atop Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters. Following the platform’s transformation into “X,” the sign became a striking symbol of a changing digital age.
When we brought “Larry” to auction, the story went viral. The sign sold for $34,375, and the media coverage was immediate and global, with stories appearing in:
• NBC News
And more…
To add to the excitement, RR Auction was featured in a KCBS Radio interview, where we discussed the sign’s cultural significance and the story behind its auction journey.
🍏 Apple-1 Computer Brings in $375,000
On the same day, another piece of tech history made headlines: a rare, fully functional Apple-1 computer—known as the “Bayville” Apple-1—sold for $375,000. It’s listed as #91 on the official Apple-1 Registry and was meticulously restored to working condition. This sale generated excitement among collectors and media alike, earning coverage in:

These results further confirm that interest in Apple’s earliest innovations remains as strong as ever.
Between a viral Twitter bird and a piece of Apple history, this auction captured the public’s imagination—and showcased what RR Auction does best: bringing the past into the present with authenticity, energy, and unmatched expertise.
