Hi,
I was fixing to list my loom on ebay and I saw your post. I also have the add listed below on this site. I now want $1900 for this loom. I believe if you check the prices of a new Cranbrook like this one, with attachments, it will be between 5 and 6 thousand dollars. I live in North Georgia about 15 minutes from an xway, and about 2hrs. and 45 minutes from Chattanooga. If you are interested let me know and I'll send you pictures.
Cranbrook 45" Weaving Loom for sale. Perfect condition. I am the original owner. Please feel free to email me for more information or more pictures. Model # C4580. It is in excellent condition and has barely been used. It is made out of rock maple with a nice finish on it. There is a metal Cranbrook Loom emblem with serial number on the front of the beater. It is very heavy and the shipping weight was 500 lbs. I still have all the paperwork, shipping invoice, assembly instructions, Cranbrook catalog, etc.
Here is more about it: It is a 45 inch loom and has 4 harnesses and 10 treadles. It has 8 harness capabilities (more harnesses could be added later as a feature on Cranbrook). Maximum weaving width is 46", Inside width of loom is 49". Size 63"wide X 57"deep X 64"high. Lrs-45 stainless reed - 12 Dent, Skein Winder, 18 Ski shuttles, 1000 Cord Heddles LE 11 C, a warping boardframe that fits on the wall(also ordered from Cranbrook). Counter March harness System with chain hookup, Floor Loom, Treadle Locking Feature, Suspended Tool Shelf, Cast Bronze warp and cloth beam ratchet gears, Pawls, and Beater hanger racks, Treadle separator Bar, coated steel tubing Tension Bars(Front and Rear Breast beams), Laminated Warp and cloth beams to eliminate warpage, Kiln dried American maple with funiture quality laquer, Heavyweight overhead swing Beater, with vertical and horizontal adjustment to include adjustable Pull Bar to allow variations in reed heights, 16 warp separator sticks to ensure even tension, 1 3/4 inch laminated mortise and tenon joint constructed side frames,etc. If you need even more accessories you can order any part or accessory ever made for a Cranbrook Loom from Schacht Spindle Co.
It would probably be better to come and pick it up, it is already disassembled (check pictures). Located near Atlanta Georgia in the north georgia mountains close to Helen Ga. The finish is still in excellent condition and there are no repairs made to this loom.
