You have a Tools of the Trade loom. So do I. They were made in Vermont in the '70's. It folds with the warp (threads) on to carry like a suitcase. The beater (the pivoting wooden thing with the comb-like part) is installed backwards. You will advertise it as a 4 harness folding portable table loom, 25" weaving width. Buyers will want to know how many dents (slots) per inch in the reed (comb-thing) and if it is rusty. Mine was. Mine was a little beat up when I paid $50 for it and it needs a new reed. It's certainly worth a lot more. The leather tag on the side should read "Tools of the Trade" and maybe Fair Haven Vermont. As far as I and Janet Meany know, they came without an instruction manual. Hope this helps...
