I have a weakness for Clones. I picked up another one yesterday. A poor neglected one at that. It was locked up bad too. Rust spots in places and a case that needs to be recovered pretty bad. I have a question about the numbers on the badge under the stitch levers. Does anyone know what they are or mean? Shalini's Belvedere above is a 101. The one I just bought is a 200. (I know it's bad, this is the "before" picture)

I had a 128 clone that was a 228.

Some don't have a number. Can anyone shed some light on this? Also, does anyone know what kind of paint they used? Was it Lacquer?
Thanks.
