I just posted some images of a vintage 1950s loom on the blog "CP brakes and TLC gallery". If you need any parts let me know. Too bad the plate is missing, we could uncover the birthday of your loom if we had that! Send me photos if you like.Sarah D.

I was advancing the cloth beam manually and wishing there was a lever or handle of some sort - then saw a friend's new Mac and had an AHA! moment. Rushed to the box of miscellaneous parts and there it was!DebbieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00508692845369401119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814415377435951634.post-35846542291801854972010-03-03T21:05:09.835-05:002010-03-03T21:05:09.835-05:00Sarah, I was looking at the treadles and harness r...Sarah, I was looking at the treadles and harness raising systems that the macomber uses, and I kept saying " that looks like my loom!" I had no idea that I might have purchased a macomber! No marking of any kind, but I can see where a small metal plate may have gone. <br />The loom is about 5 ft tall, wide and long, 8 harness with the option of a swinging beater. (not sure how to work out the adjustments for that.)I don't think the beater is original.<br />Do you know where I can find pictures, of old Macomber Looms?Tina Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847921637464146018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814415377435951634.post-36864083936584303882010-03-03T13:57:20.768-05:002010-03-03T13:57:20.768-05:00Sarah, what would we ever do without you !
