Okay, I admit it, I put on about 200 miles yesterday taking a road trip to pick up 3 Singers at three different locations. Oh, this addiction MUST stop!

First stop I picked up a 15-91 with cabinet, owners manual for it and for a model 66 plus two boxes of attachments. A VERY nice machine!

Second stop I pickuped up a V.S. 2 (head only & in a little rough condition) but - hey - it's my first fiddle base. Fiddle bases seem to be scarce around here.

Third stop picked up another 15-91 with a beautiful cabinet AND matching stool (stools also are scarce in my area). I have a sister who wants to replicate what our Mom sewed on so between the two 15-91's I figure I can get a really nice setup for her.

That last 15-91 purchase also included a stool FULL of attachments.......

now......

hold your breath.....

I paid $30 for this last 15-91 plus cabinet plus matching stool plus all the attachments..........

and....

wait for it.....

wait for it.....

wait for it....

there was a penguin walking foot included!!!!

These penguin walking feet are really collectible. A penguin walking foot recently sold for $450 on ebay. (No, I'm not selling my penguin!)

Whoo hoo! Time to celebrate!!!!

We stopped at the local ice cream store. I ordered a chocolate malt to celebrate! LOL

PS Here's a video someone else made demonstrating this penguin walking foot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UANYpUSsi4I

PS I forgot to add: The walking foot came in it's original box with an instruction book. The original price of the penguin walking is on the box. It's marked $3.95.

Yup, I had the same thing happen:> But, I had to sell it. I needed the money to fund my addiction. LOL:>

I don't blame you for holding on to that walking foot. If it were me that would have been worth the whole trip. That and the chocolate malt.

Never heard of a penguin walking foot. Thanks for the information. I had to stop buying old sewing machines, but am still willing to accept 'donations'!

jljack

Good for you!! You deserve that Penguin for all the traveling you did to get those machines to help out your sister. I am happy for you!!

OOOOOOHHHHHHH! I've never seen one in the wild- never heard of one til I found this Board of addicts. If I don't stop coming here I'll be one too! Fantastic finds.

Teacup

Congratulations! Great finds...thanks for sharing info on the Penguin, I never heard of one before. (Chocolate malts are a celebratory treat for me as well...few and far between, but if I want a splurge, it's at the top of my list!)

How exciting! I never knew such a thing existed until I came here (the penguin). What a lucky find.
