| condition | In 1991 Dell was still a small manufacturer in Texas which primarily sold through warehouse clubs and computer superstores (before Internet e-commerce). Originally founded in 1984 by Michael Dell, it did not launch the popular www.dell.com until 1994. |
| comments | This 1991 keyboard is an early example of how Dell would re-brand or have other component companies construct computer parts (in this case Lexmark), and then have Dell logos applied. This item is essentially an IBM 1391401 keyboard. |
| comments | Has an interesting property sticker “US Government Property, Voss Scientific Job 24, Part No. 1079.1”. Sticker in good condition and shows a little history of the previous life of the keyboard, but can also be easily removed by end buyer. |
