Hi,
I might be able to help. I live in Freeport where the looms were made and I own several of them. What color is the loom? How many shaft does it have? We won't be able to pin point an exact age but hopefully close to it.
In 1922 the Structo Mfg.Co(founded in 1912) was manufacturing two all-metal looms painted in black and blue enamel.One wove a 4" wide cloth and the other 8" wide. Ten different models were offered for sale by Structo in 1941. World War II had a huge impact on Structo. Structo was sold to Dick Blick Art Supplies of Galesburg, Illinois in 1972. The looms were then labeled Dick Blick. I have a Structo Catalong and can try and help you get an approx. age.
