The device pictured in the auction is not a 110 baud terminal.
It's a 45.5/50 baud TTY device, designed for deaf persons
(is that the current politically correct term?) to communicate
with other TTY-equipped parties via telephone. A quick Google
search reveals new units currently for sale, direct from
Ultratec and from other vendors. Here's the Ultratec listing:

I've seen these in thrift stores for less than $10.
Cheers,
Dan
