I ordered a chocolate malt to celebrate... LOL
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 Shari |
I'm slightly more than flat out jealous!! :D Congrats!! :)
|
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'!
|
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.
|
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. :)
