Ty- sorry for the double post. So IBM didn't wrap keyboards. Makes you wonder who wrapped this.

It could have been wrapped for storage reasons.

It also has a rather strange label on it. It's like the old '120 and '131 labels, except it says 'Product of C.T.L. Terminal Services'

Refurbish job?

Quote from: webwit;139441

That's a refurbishment company with the permission to print labels. They usually took out the entire switch unit, replaced it with a new one, and put on a new label.
