Go with the bag, since there is no evidence to support these claims by Sotheby's
Based on historical records, the evidence suggests that only less than 150 to 200 Apple-1 computers were ever made and the assembly team was Wozniak who did most technical assembly, with help from Daniel Kottke, Patty Jobs (Steve's sister), and occasional friends.
Also....the actual video title is: "The Finest Operational Apple-1 Computer in Existence - Handmade by Steve Jobs - Is Now at Sotheby's" an even more wild claim. Then editorialized here to be called in the title of this submission: " Apple-1 Computer, handmade by Jobs and Woz"
The video has low credibility, and changing the title wont change that.
Jobs role has always been reported as business/sales focused rather than hands-on assembly.
