In Reply to: Seattle: Very old 2-harness rag rug loom FREE to good home posted by linnco on Friday, 29 June 2007, at 9:04 p.m.:
Hi,
I just purchased a two harness Ideal Loom made by the Reed Loom Company of Ohio also a 45" wide without the automatic shaft changer (I believe). I live in Morton, Washington near Mt. Rainier. I believe my loom is of the same era as yours. Do you have a manual or history that you would be willing to share with me? I would be most appreciative. I am researching for any information that I can obtain, regarding the Reed Manufacturing Company and the Looms that they manufactured. I just love the rag rugs!
I just love the old era. I have several treadle sewing machines with one being the parlor style. I am truly a collector of the tredle sewing machines and am learning the Loom.
Please send me any information possible. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Susan
