The one we have and the others I've seen in person are plastic. I've seen photos of one with a metal spool peg.

I have a 185 and it's definitely green. I paid $15.00 for it.

no letters, all numbers = Prior to 1900 1 letter, the rest numbers = 1900 - 1924 (some 1925) 2 letters = 1924 and newer. ETA: Another dead give away, even if it was a treadled machine- the machine will have a motor mount after about 1910ish |
I love the color! I bought a red eye in great condition for $30. If you like the prices go for it!

Very pretty. Sounds small and mighty.

I bought my 185 green machine at a garage sale for $20. It works fine, but is too heavy to transport conveniently, so it recently found a home in an apartment complex for homeless vets.
It is a 3/4 size machine, and I understand it that it is basically a Singer 99 in an "updated" style. |

I am really jealous! That machine is adorable. |
