This is an original 1982 IBM Model F 61 key, also known as the "Kishsaver". The keyboard is made of high-quality materials and has a unique design that is distinct from modern keyboards. Hello, hopefully this finds the right person.

@blakespot Meh. We just wait for them to die and their family will sell it to a collector/museum at estate sale for $100.
