The Macomber

I now have the original documents for the loom.  They were found when the garage where it had been temporarily stored was being cleaned out.

It too was built in the 1970's (same decade as my Little Peggy spinning wheel).

Ordered in April of 1979 it was probably delivered 4-5 months later.  It came with a few accessories (the bench is a Macomber), and cost at the time a total of $1361.80.  The same loom today from the factory is over $4500.  I think my $500 is a suitable price for such a great loom.

Most importantly, as the serial number tag was missing from the loom - this now identifies it as B4-E3287.

I wonder who the next owner will be...
