Patience and persistence pays off. On a similar note there was a Stanley hand plane I've wanted for years, a Stanley #112 scraper plane. I've been wanting one since the 1990s but couldn't justify Ebay prices for one-usually $150 and up. I finally found one locally for $8.00 at a garage sale. I told the guy it was worth a lot more but he told me to take it anyway so I finally have my plane. A penguin will happen too.
