Penny, it looks like a hemmer to me, that attaches to the bed of the
machine. If you are going to play with your treadle you should get
over to treadleon.net and join that mailing list, for people who use
their old treadles. You will enjoy it, I'm sure.

I have been going through the patent website trying to find out
about sewing machine attachments. I have a beautifully restored 1887
Standard treadle sewing machine in the original cabinet. It came
with a box full of sewing machine attachments. I don't know what
the attachments are for or how to use them.
Jackpot! I found one type of my attachments on the patent site:

So...what is it for? Where the flat section at the top of Fig. 1,
my box is a lot longer. How does it attach to the machine?
I have some similar attachments with a flatter area where the curl
is located on the patent. These clearly attach to the feeder bar.
This type is stamped with the Standard logo and numbered B, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, smallest to largest. My mother said these are hemmers. She
was not sure if the one like in the patent was for hemming.
