We have a set of those at my co-op. No one seems to want them. The thing is that they look like the cable pull is asymmetrical rather than symmetrical like most modern shifters.

Like as the lever is rotated, the numbers get farther apart. I don't have them in front of me so I am kind of guessing but its like the 1-2 shift mark on the lever has 1mm between the 1 and 2, the 2-3 has 1.5mm, the 3-4, has 2mm, the 4-5 has 2.5mm and so on. No idea what brand they are but they are nice solid shiny shifters, all metal.
