So how does one explain the handwritten numbers "4424" on the top left
corner of my Apple ][ ???  Was my Apple ][ made in 1944, week 24?  :)

My motherboard has the three RAM strapping blocks on the left side of the
motherboard, and on the bottom of the case it says "Serial No. A2S1-15425"
with the 15425 in a slightly different typeface than the pre-printed
Serial No. A2S1.

And yes, it has the Woz Integer BASIC in ROM (and a 16K Microsoft card in
Slot 0....the Microsoft logo looks different from their modern day logo).
