This is a ' Box-Type-Frame' loom w/ a 1X4 castle, modified since it's early 1900's origin w/ make-shift-parts, ranging from small shelf-brackets ( pawls ) to old auto-starter-gear-rings ( both front and back beams ), apparently ' modified-some ' before we came-along-w/-ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi folks. I just got a Reed Loom Co. Weaver's Friend loom, it's in nice shape and has no treadles, I guess you move the beater bar 2x to make it advance. As soon as my sister shows me how to thread the loom I'm going to be making rag rugs - have done that on her loom, but don't know how to warp the loom myself. The odd thing is I have no idea how old my loom is, she bought it used several years ago. Anyone familiar with this loom brand?
HEY-THERE-sugarcat ! ! ! ! ! !
As you can see, our loom has only has 2 harnesses w/ 2 treadles, but is so old & modified so much, I can't say that it was ever ' BEATER-DRIVEN '. There is a lot of more-knowledgable-folks in WEAVO that will 'chime-in-here-directly' ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
