not a pressure foot, but a feed finger as frank has posted.
Those look easier; there's possibilities to laser-cut the shape from sheet metal, and hand-polish (maybe
just a Dremel tool and a selection of emery and rouge compounds) into usefulness. The eye is
the critical bit, and it looks kinda... tiny.
emachineshop.com is one outfit that might be worth looking into

It still takes some work to get all the dimensions into the CAD environment; if you know someone with
a measuring microscope, that's a good place to start. The patent (US #4640206) didn't have
much relevant info that I could see.
