The treadles almost look like LeClerc treadles, but that castle is really unique.

The castle is unique and filled with love. Leclerc parts are easy to use to repair looms and for parts in home built looms.  If it weaves with half the pleasure of looking at it, favorite loom status would not depend on finding out more. It is large enough to not have left the community so a local guild may recognize it. Thank you for posting the picture.

The reverse google search didn't find anything.  Am hoping to get information from the seller.  It looks unusual, that custom castle, and the other photos show a sectional back beam.  Still hoping one of you people will be able to tell me something.

Owner's son said "The loom is manufactured by Jefferson in 1986" but I cannot find any internet information about Jefferson Looms. 

But does this ring a bell for you?

This Jefferson loom was built by Karen Howell, and Lance Howell, here in Whatcom County, Washington in the 80s.  They no longer make the looms but there are a few(I think Karen said about 80) out there.
