Title: Curious about this one - how'd I do?

Picked this up for essentially $5.  What's it worth also, if you could?

Thats a Cherry G84-4100 usually with printed key caps. If you tell us the model number on the label on the bottom we can tell for sure what kind of key caps they are.

Go for anywhere between 30 and 70ish I believe.

I paid $16.50 for mine.

The switches are actually ML switches, which aren't color coded like MX switches. They're basically Cherry's answer to scissor switches.

Modell (That's how it's spelled!) ML4100
Made in Czech Republic

There's more stuff, artical number, and serial number if needed!  Thanks for all the info so far!

I predict the article number is...

G84-4100PPAxx

Where xx is some two letter code for whatever country spells "model" as "modell". French maybe.

printed key caps just as I predicted. I asked because in rare cases there are dye sublimation as well.

So did I do alright? Can't beat it (except for size) for $5!  It's just sooooo tiny!

Yeah, it's 11" - still a bit small for me! :p  

EDIT:  Err.. not quite! :p It's Keyboard end to end is 11" but key to key is 10 7/8".

Mine is an older one I guess, it doesn't have any Windows keys on it. :p

Anyway to make the 'Fn' key operate as the Windows key?
