I think the part number is 32559. I'm using a shirt tail hemmer for the measurement. I really am anxious to get my treadle machine going so that I can use it. This is the only vintage machine that I have so far. If anyone could tell me where I might find this foot, I would greatly appreciate it.
Good luck-- I hope you are able to treadle on your machine soon. You will absolutely love it.

for those with older treadles that are non-Singer:
What is for sale over at shopgoodwill.com... is under Greist. Billy says that they are for white/national/eldredge machines, back clamping...

I just ran across a Singer 206... it looks kinda like an old black singer, but it has this funky big round bulbous thing up where the column and the arm meet, there's another screw type adjustment on the bottom left of the column, angled towards the work area, and the logo shield is in a different place.
Anyone have one of these... are they any good? Or just curiosities? I think it does straight and zig zag built in. But it's an old black singer.... <scratches head>
