RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood SX-50 11" on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood SX-50 11" By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
