My Kewl Penguin Collection The following is a briefly annotated list of my penguin pals, including accession dates (when recorded/found in my collection catalog) -- as collections go, you will probably not find it a very numerous nor overly impressive assemblage of pingüinos. They are arranged in a more or less chronological sequence according to the date acquired/medium -- those items marked with a * were given by me as gifts to Bernar, a friend, over the last 15 years, but were traded back for an antique metal plant stand with marble top which he liked, on Sunday, 1 February 2004 -- I am grateful for once again being able to reunite the happy flock. I shall be adding more critters to this page as I find them in my stash and take the digital pics, so stay tuned for more kewl penguins as I continue developing this web site. If you are a pingüino, or have a penguin which is not listed and you might like to join/donate it to the collection, with acknowledgement, of course, feel free to contact me at the email address linked below. NO, I am not selling any of my pals at this time -- but, if you are a pingüino and might like all of them plus the domain name and its virtual contents to add to your rookery, hmmmmmmm, who knows! You can always ask.
