Vintage IBM 1393464 M Clicky Keyboard SEP 1988 WORDSTAR
Keyboard is in good working and cosmetic condition.
This is the older keyboard with the heavy dark lettering!
I think it has the Wordstar keytops! It is as good as it gets for a 20 year old keyboard.
Check pictures.  Has a couple of minor marks on the bottom. Warranted 7 days no doa.
The keystrokes are clean and crisp and the famous IBM "Clicky" sound lets you know it is quality all the way!

WordStar keycaps? Never heard of those. I used WordStar way back when, and I don't recognize any of those markings.

The seller didn't seem sure and could be wrong.  Seems like someone else here recently bought an ibm buckling spring with some unique key markings but can't remember the detail, might even have been a space saver.  Anybody remember that?  Was wondering if it might be the same markings.

That's not WordStar. Look at the arrow keys -- `Partn' -- some custom point-of-sale job?

Yes that is what I was thinking of, thanks.  So, not like that one, we know one more thing it's NOT, :smile:.

It's an airlines reservations keyboard: http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/9523/subcatid/0/id/102599

Cool.  Maybe I should have recognized it as I used to work for a major CRS.  But in my defense, I didn't see the terminals much, :wink:, and Pan Am was gone by the time I got there.  I recently saw an old Apollo terminal in a computer shop.  Quite the antique.  Somebody had bought the keyboard and left the rest, breaking up an extremely rare collectible.  That's terrible, something like, uh, one of us would do!

Looks like this
