![]() ![]() If you own it, could you post a picture of the machine without the coffin top? You really might be able to sew with this lovely and gracious lady depending on the type of bobbin and needles it uses-a picture of the machine is how anyone would identify the machine, advise on value, and sew-ability as regards parts availability. It's just gorgeous-hang off, wiping up more drool. So it's fairly safe to believe the machine is more than likely in equal condition-ready to sew on right now, that belt looks brand new! From the looks of the Winselmann in your photograph, it is in amazing condition! I would have to see the machine under the coffin top to be sure, but the parts that can be seen look 'mint', and that's usually the most neglected area of an antique or vintage sewing machine. They are rarer of course to find in Canada and the US, most machines there (as here in the UK) are Singers and Jones. A number of pioneer women brought their machines to North America with them, yours must be one of those. The machines (Singers and one Jones) are easy finds at jumble and boot sales, charity shops, and all over the 'Net, but I have never seen a coffin top Winselmann in person. Careful now, those links are the starting point of the most fascinating obsession! I have nine vintage and one genuine antique-all sewing merrily along except the antique. ![]()
