Looks like a rebranded DEC LK-201, which I often consider to be the worst keyboard I've ever had the displeasure of using.

"Tech Condition:
This item is used and has been tested to be in good working condition. This item was pulled from a working environment and appears to be in good condition. It is sold "as is" with no warranty."

I don't think I'm buying things from these people.

Worse. I might be able to type on a bashed up old rubber dome board for more than 30 seconds without getting the urge to stamp on it...

I've never heard of Ford computers though. I wonder if it was used to control machines in their production plants.

It looks like a standard DEC VT220/320 keyboard to me.
