ANTIQUE WEAVING SEWING BLANKET LOOM CIRCA 1880'S

Description

S219Y, Used to weave blankets for trading posts who in turn resold them to patrons. Simply amazing that any have survived time and a very valuable specimen today. This loom from a New Mexico collection originally and consists of the wooden frame work, hand carved wooden shuttle, original strings and other relevant materials still present. I believe it is 100% complete, but not certain though, as these are so rarely seen today, so there is nothing to compare it to. This specimen should be in a fine collection, or even a museum. Measures 34" high x 10.5" deep x 31" wide, insured ship weight is 22 pounds.
