Don't know how "great" a find this is, as I don't know what it's worth—but it's a fantastic looking board, isn't it?:

Double-shots to die for. Too bad there's no tradename. Anyone have any idea who made it, or what kind of switches it may have? And what on earth is that thing on the back?

Wow that bottom row of keycaps has enough angle on it to cut someone!

Yeah, it's a crazy contour, isn't it? I wonder if the lens they used exaggerated that somehow? I've never seen anything with that much of a dip, have you?

a bunch of keys are heavily scratched. look like soft keycaps, worked by some lady with long fingernails

i always get curious to the history of such things

There's some camera skew on the sides of each shot, but the center of each image is dead on.  The side shot helps us to see the profile, but doesn't really change it much.  It's just that aggressive!
