The penguin foot is the original walking foot designed for the Singer Featherweight. They are extremely rare and bring a high price among collectors. I bought one from a Singer dealer's personal singer attachment collection many years ago. It is the only one I have even seen.

I have bought several from Goodwill online and just needed to clean, oil and lubricate them. I need to sell 2 or 3 but don't want the ordeal of shipping. Hopefully I'll find someone local looking to buy. You'll find one just when you're thinking of giving up on it!
