I have a Winselmann 1 hand sewing machine 1868. It is in excellent condition.

This one is from 1910 and they are asking $321.50. www.ebay.com/
That's interesting because according to this Winselmann did not really become a company until after 1868 "Gustav Winselmann & Herman Köhler started manufacturing sewing machines in Altenberg, Germany in 1877 having seperated from L.O. Dietrich.
In 1892 Winselmann formed his own company and by 1913 had produced a one million sewing machines of various types. In 1902 the company became a limited liability company (GmbH) and used the brand name Titan which appears on many of its machines. The firm closed at the end of the Second World War."

The other special thing about these machines is they were manufactured to be smaller (3/4 less) than ther machines
Perhaps someone from this site can help you figure out a value. ismacs.net/
I haven't used the site myself to ask a question. I like it to read about the machines I see in my travels.
I am curious to hear what you find out as I am interested in learning more about non-us made machines.
Please share what you learn and a photo!! Thanks!!
