Description:
It is official, I am the worst at finding serial numbers in antique malls.
This Burroughs had me tempted, but on closer inspection it had many frozen and inoperable parts, the carriage and ribbon vibrator in particular. The culprit? Rust, of course.
For $75, it was high enough for me to pass it. Did I make the right choice? I know these aren't too common, and it was probably repairable...

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Burroughs 50 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Burroughs Serial Number page and the Burroughs 50 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
