That can't be since I own #30123 and #37619. I would guess in the 40000s,
maybe 50000.

One of the old Beagle Bros manuals says Apple quit making ][s in '80. Seems
I remember seeing an Apple timeline with June '80 as the date.

I think 100000 for the original III and 10000 for the III plus is about right.
My lowest serial # III is in the 18000s and my III plus is in the 7800s.
