Barny, it is a vintage Singer walking presser foot. The concept would be similar to today's walking foot in that it held the layers of fabric together and kept them from shifting while sewing. The Penguin got its name because it has two separate "feet" and when advancing the fabric it looks like a penguin waddling side to side. I'm sure others can describe it more clearly. Lol.

It's interesting the GW employee posting this took a special picture of some bobbins but neglected to bring attention to the Penguin, box and manual. They are probably scratching their heads if someone hasn't explained the interest to them.

I would love to stand my white walking foot up next to a black one and see the differences. This one has no Singer marking. I got it in a box of old attachments. I also have some more modern walking feet. It is modeled by Miss 15-75 my favorite beat up old lady.

Every time I shoot a picture I see more to clean - she's had hours at the spa already...
