Original is subjective. Atari made them from 1977-the end of 1991 in several cosmetic variants, and also made the Sears badged units IIRC.
The 6-switch models were the first, they ade a number of diffferent but similar 4 switch models and even one that looked like the Atari 7800.
The retro ones that they make now still use the same chip so some people hack a cartridge port on to them so they can play cartridges on a new one.
