I have a 1867 approximate, Winselmann treadle coffin top sewing machine that was made in Germany. I am not sure if it was ever imported to Canada. There is no info available on the internet for this machine.

I've never heard of this machine but then I am a vintage and antique Singer user. I've found a lot of fantastic information on mine at ISMACS and treadleon, and I know they have information on other brands of these wonderful machines. Use the search features, and contact info-they do accept questions on machines:
I've also found a lot of good information on this site:

Be warned, lol, researching a vintage or antique sewing machine becomes an addiction very quickly!
I think this is Herman Koehler from late 1890, I have one which was my grandmothers, seem to be identical except mine is handdriven
Thanx for the info. But unfortunitly none have much on Winselmann machines.
Greetings,
Thanks for your input.
I have a Winselmann almost identical as Julie's, posted above.
The decals on mine are not quite as good.
Not a lot about Winselmann but it tell how they were established etc. Extremely interesting site, plenty of information but beware it doesn't start you getting addicted to other machines!

I have an almost exact twin to this machine and have no idea as to it's value.
Julie,
What a beautiful Winselmann!
I have almost the same machine, but your decals are in better shape.
I have been searching about two days trying to find anything when I stumbled on this site.
