The first Mac SE prototype...?
Some other conquests...
A cooler bag+ radio Apple goodie, Twentieth Anniversary Mac graphite pen, a Golden Apple Club (employee select event) mousepad.

And sometimes, when digging back in you photo database, you even find pictures of some clear prototypes that you were NOT able to salvage at this time, sigh !
So this WAS my clear Mac II si, with its clear monochrome 12" monitor: A nice combination for a compact Mac. I don't think someone else could rescue it from the bin...

Dont let Hap know you tossed a clear into the bin. He will cry a little.
What's 'Teapot'?
Its short and stout.
Well played, sir.
Rather than relying on y'all to google it, I went out and did the heavy lifting myself.
Scratch what I thought it was. This C610/Q610 has the same nameplate. Not sure what's up with that.

I think they were test boxes for a specific model. I forget which. But it is odd that it would be in two boxes.
Good thing it wasn't Pot 4:20 whatever it was
Sadly, it doesn't look the cooler radio would work. It looks like the speaker is too ate up. 
The clear IIsi looks so nice! I wonder sometimes why Apple didn't market a clear model before the iMac G3s, which then were only translucent.

And also, there is the Mac OS watch that people will pay $3,000 for. I actually prefer the lava lamp clock and the wall clock. And why does the iMac G3 desk thing
have the HP logo on it?
How did I just find this thread? It looks like it has been going for a while.

Some answers for Garrett:
Although the speaker seems gone, the cooler radio is actually working well: the speaker membrane is still in a pristine state... it is just a transparent membrane.
The iMac G3 clock is a promo gift from HP when they entered back the Mac market with their USB-based DeskJet printers, i.e by supplying their PC-based printers with Mac OS drivers from by Palomar Software (see details at http://www.palomar.com/About/History.html).
Just remember that HP had previously stopped shipping their Mac-only DeskWriter printers line, and then signed -the worst deal ever done by Apple- to sell rebranded DeskWriter models under ... the StyleWriter 4100 and 4500 names ! (if you forgot this, see http://shrineofapple.com/blog/2011/07/23/colorstylewriter4100/or http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/misc/color_stylewriter_4500.4100.pdf
But nobody inquired more about this mythic Golden Apple Club, so I'm adding two other clues...
- One is another time destination for this Club.
- The second one is the specific pin that you would generally get when invited there:

Oh, okay. That is good that the cooler radio is working!
As for the HP iMac G3, I'm sorry - I just didn't understand what it said on the top. I can't read the language printed on it (French?)
Not related- but do you live in France?
