Intel C1702A 2048-bit (256 x 8) Static EPROM in White Ceramic - Early Style - Upper Print & Earth Strap - Rare

This Item is a Rare Early Style Intel  C1702A 2048-bit (256 x 8) Static EPROM in White Ceramic with the Print and Earth Strap on the Upper Front as per the Photos.

The intel 1702A was released by Intel  during the 4th Quarter of 1972.
The 1702A is packaged in a 24-pin dual in-line package with a transparent lid. 
The transparent lid allows the user to expose the chip to ultraviolet light to erase the bit pattern. 
A new pattern can then be written into the device.

This Intel C1702A Chip appears to have been manufactured during Week 52 of 1975 in the Philippines.

I am unable to test this Chip for functionality so it is being sold for collection purposes only and as such has no warranty or guarantee of being functional.

I can assure any buyers that the prices for these vintage Chips will rise significantly over the coming years as they have done so over the past 30 years so it will be a good investment for them as the majority of the older chips have been scrapped for their gold content.
