Here is a picture I searched up on the web, easily done though.
It is cast iron. Trust me. It is heavy. Takes regular needles, thank goodness. Mine is pre-WWII according to the best that the Bernina dealer could tell after talking with her people. It is possible that the machines were melted down and remade into weapons & such. FYI: your photo is a 114 or so the caption says, earlier than mine - I have the 117L.
