Wow, that seller just shorted themselves out of quite a bit of cash due to a spelling error. Good for you for taking advantage. I keep hoping to get a Singer Walking Presser Foot for a reasonable price, but so does everyone else who knows to NOT look for Penguin in the title.

Won it for $152.50, I think the misspelling of Feather and fact that it was not listed as a Centennial helped tremendously. My winning bid was only the second bid!

The case looks like absolute toast but it does have the bobbin case and a bunch of bobbins. A little bit of chipped paint on the front edge but not too bad.

I can't wait to get it. I have been looking for a Centennial for a while.

Congrats. I know you will enjoy your new to you FW I have two and love mine. One case isn't in great shape and has a homemade wooden handle with wire holding it on, so I a planning, when who knows, but still planning to redo the case, at least take the imitation leather off and just clean up the wood and leave it like that using tung oil on it.

Good for you!!! Don't you wonder though, how some people store their machines that the cases end up looking so bad??? Now it will be in "loving care" hands. You deserve it.
