	Almost certainly correct.
	Does careful examination yield anything, any markings?
	(Small print on the face, somewhere?)

	If a variac is to hand, easy enough to power it from that,
	temporarily & see where it starts to indicate, then
	run it a bit above that, at the next standard voltage.

	IS it a reed type, or moving pointer? 

	(also, as someone noted, unlikely to indicate anything BUT
	60 Hz....)
