The gap between the last prior model (110) and the first of the next model (112) is currently 467 numbers. The gap between the earliest and latest known existing 111's is a mere 206 numbers.

Since amps were numbered, and these numbers may be part of the same serial run, getting a count on the quantity of these produced is difficult. The 111 pedal attachment lacks the adjustable tension screw of the 112. Unlike the later, bottom-mounting ones, these pedals are rare! Don't throw them out or repurpose them-that would be tragic. Pedal mounts on side, also in 112 this is a terrible design. A lot of variety for such a short-production instrument. Er.sometimes, though some have screw-in legs like the 112. Still sits on table with wrought iron legs, matching bench. "The 111 is essentially a 112, with the 110 amplifier." The lead treble sustain brick of later 1950s models is found on some of these- not all of them, and not sequentially by serial number. Reed screws are under damper action and hard to access (true of all 1950s models).

Apparently has no manual: One original owner was given a 110 manual instead (which confused him given the changes in accessing the works). The body has changed, and now the action is accessible from the top, instead of sliding out the front. More common than the 110, as several have shown up for sale recently. "Brown pebble-textured finish" (Owosso Argus Press, June 28, 1955) "Pebblelac finish" (Manual, p. Piano sits on a table with wrought-iron legs.
The lead treble sustain brick of later 1950s models is not found here, though other smaller weights are attached at various spots. The handle is also on the back, so the keys point down when carried as a suitcase." "Auxiliary pedal" mentioned only in action-removing instructions of manual, seemingly an afterthought (p.8) Some pix, not all, showing a right-side hole where it would go. "The 110 slides out of the case for servicing, as the top is fixed. Manual exists, less rare than the keyboard as they continued using it, inappropriately, for the 111.
This model seems to be quite rare may have been replaced with the 111 within months. (does this double as a carrying handle?) Is there a damper pedal? I'm guessing not. Photo shows wrought iron legs (dif from those on 110) and a music stand that spans the whole instrument and attaches on the sides. Not mentioned in most Wurlitzer literature-not even in the "reed compatibility" memos.

In other cases, (the earliest 140B’s, the earliest 200A’s), it appears that completely-assembled instruments from the prior model run had the newest amps put in at the last minute, and were badged with the newest model number, in spite of being hybrids of two distinct model generations. Therefore, certain models (the 112A, the first run of 140/145/720) seem to be hybrids designed to use up parts before a major transition goes into effect–or, they are, in effect, short-run prototypes. It is becoming increasingly clear that Wurlitzer had a policy of using up parts whenever possible. The descriptions of differentiating features between models should be taken as general guides. The list is followed by some important notes about Reed Eras (now found here), and other clarifications.

I hope others find this helpful, and can help me make the dates and data even more accurate and specific.
I’d realized there was no one page on the internet that listed every Wurlitzer Electronic Piano model, its years made, and its basic, differentiating features.
