Default New old bandsaw 220v or 110?

I just got at an auction a Biro model 34 bandsaw for $135 and now that I
have cleaned it up a little I am not positive if it is set up to run on
220v. I think it is because the plug has one blade vertical and the other
horizontal in other words ( - ! like this). The ground pin is in the normal
position. Can anyone tell me an easy way to tell if I am correct? I don't
want to just plug it in and see what happens. After all I would hate to burn
the sucker up after almost giving myself a hernia picking this 400-500 pound
monster up and getting it home. As always thanks for the help. Larry
