1984-85 Microsoft Word for Mac Version 1

Hello, I picked this up at a local Salvation Army store, I can not find information on this. I would think this is rare to have such a old copy still sealed. I was going to put it up on ebay but did not know if it had any value or where to even start. Any help would be appreciate it.

Thanks

Wow, and.... well, WOW. :eek:

If that indeed IS v1 then that is the first MS Word ever, on ANY platform.

Serious thought will be needed for this one, but I haven't a clue what it's actually worth, although I certainly wouldn't be selling it for peanuts! :)

Nice find!

EDIT: Found that part number here in an Australian Museum. Seems the last 3 digits could be a revision or localization.
