How rare is this?

[scuzzb494]

I have an A1010-style floppy drive that has a lovely, shiny Boing Ball logo instead of a checkmark.  It is serial number XN1108119.

I'm reading the Platform Studies book by Jimmy Maher, and he suggests the boingball logo was used on early pre-release hardware only, until Commodore changed to the checkmark logo.

How rare is my floppy drive?  Could it have been early pre-release hardware?  It still works!

Not sure if there was any official information on the badging. Certainly worth doing some further research. Look after it.

Mine have the tick mark...

I also incude a badge that definitely was later changed. This is the only one I know of that was a mistake.
