@mwichary Saved this one from the garbage today. No labels on it, but has rather unusual keys. Like FUNK, a : < smiley, Roman numerals up to Ⅳ, ß, and the Dutch sounding "EXTRA TEKEN". Connector looks like a phone one. Probably from a terminal, is my guess. What do you reckon?

It's a Unix terminal keyboard for a British publishing company that had a branch office in Germany. ;) I don't recognize it, but custom keys per company were common in the 80s and this seems to have a few. The roman numeral keys are like the ones on the space cadet keyboard.

Maybe you can find it on: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:List_of_all_keyboards … Also, Function in German is (Funk)tion, so it seems like a German keyboard. The horizontal dots above the "other caret" are probably are used for composing umlaut characters.

Thanks! Couldn't find it with a quick rummage through that site, but will investigate. I'll open it to see if there's any clues inside! (cc

You might just contact the people running the site. You might have a one of a kind that they are hoping to add to their database. You might find out more by carefully opening the keyboard.

Great suggestion! https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=465304#p465304 … Looks like it belongs to a MAI Basic Four terminal.
