AppleTeacher magnet (2023)

This magnet features the #AppleTeacher logotype (in a Medium weight of Apple’s San Francisco corporate font) printed on a custom shape metal background. The text is white and printed on a black background.

According to Apple’s website:

“Apple Teacher is a free professional learning program designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. As an educator you can build skills on iPad and Mac that directly apply to activities with your students, earn recognition for the new things you learn, and be rewarded for the great work you do every day.”

A strong bar magnet is attached to the back of the printed metal, and a rectangular piece of steel allows the magnet to securely fasten to fabric or other materials.

The magnet is 55 mm wide x 8 mm tall and 2 mm thick. The magnet adds another 2 mm to the overall thickness of the item. The metal backing measures 12 mm x 38 mm.

Luggage Lock (c. 2009)

This Apple-branded Luggage Lock may have been available at the Apple Company Store at the Infinite Loop Campus in Cupertino, California. It is packaged in a black gift box with an Apple logo, a UPC code, and the part number T5132LL/A.

This unique item is made from metal and is 1.5 inches square and 0.25 inches thick. The Luggage Lock has a three-number combination lock along the bottom with a combination that can be set by the user. Once set, a 6-inch braided metal cable allows the user to lock their luggage with this device.

The Luggage Lock has a smooth finish that is champagne colored, and the braided cable is silver. The front of the lock is printed with a white Apple logo, and a patent number is engraved in the back.

The Luggage Lock includes a 2-page instruction manual that teachers the user how to set the combination and thread a metal luggage identification card through the cable. Although the metal luggage identification card is not included in the gift box, my collection includes a metal luggage tag that may have been sold along side this lock.
