I've got a DC Hayes 300 baud S-100 modem. I think the date
on it is 1977.
g.
While U.S. Robotics did not invent the modem,
they were one
of the first
companies to sell them for home use. Here are
some U.S.
Robotics data sheets
that I got in February 1978.

I don't want to argue about who was first to sell a modem.
I just think it
is neat that U.S. Robotics is still around and I
have these
data sheets
