Intel C2117-4, 16384-bit (16384 x 1) Dynamic RAM, in a Purple Ceramic DIP - Engineering Sample - Extremely Rare

This Item is an Extremely Rare Engineering Sample of an Intel C2117-4, 16384-bit (16384 x 1) Dynamic RAM, in a Purple Ceramic DIP per the Photos.

The ES Marking on this Chip means that it is an Engineering Sample and as such it is Extremely Rare as very few were used as Engineering Samples 

This Intel C2117-4 Chip appears to have been manufactured during Week 32 of 1977 in Malaysia.

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.
