Souvenir copy of the "Apple Computer Company Partnership Agreement," 8.5 x 11, five pages, signed in the lower margin of the first page in blue felt tip by Steve Wozniak, "Make History! Woz," and Ron Wayne, "Ronald G. Wayne." In very fine condition, with a PSA/DNA label affixed to the reverse of the signed page.
Ronald Wayne was Apple's third co-founder, along with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, receiving a 10% stake in the company upon its formation. He was to be the tie-breaker between the 'two Steves' and act as the 'adult in the room'—at age 41, he had much more practical business experience than Jobs and Woz, then 21 and 25. Wayne's principal acts were writing the original partnership agreement, illustrating the first Apple logo (Isaac Newton under a tree with an apple dangling overhead), and authoring the Apple-1 operating manual. Citing risk aversion, Wayne infamously relinquished his equity only weeks later for the sum of $800.
