The loom was purchased in 1993. AVL had to build it for Lillian. It has had only one owner. It has sat in a place of honor in Lillian’s living room since 1993.
The buyer will need to dismantle, or hire someone, to remove it from Lillian’s house.
It works just fine. Lillian is not doing any heavy weaving now.

Other looms and equipment
Antique loom for sale
These items are in Oakley. From the current owner:
I have had them for about 20 years, and I got them from a friend who moved out of state,
I wanted to learn how to weave but never got to it and they just take up space now.
I think they are interesting and would normally hold onto them but I think it is time someone else could actually put them to work.
The Loom I think is from the early 1900’s?
Loom, $600, warping wheel $100.
