This is an Antique Structo Weaving Loom. Structo was well known during the 1940's for their metal toy trucks and cars and during WWII, they made many military style toy trucks, tanks and jeeps. Recognizing that they had no toys for Girls... they developed the fully functional 8" Table Loom. Normally made in the 4 Shaft style, they came fully warped and ready to go. Additional spools of warp threads were able to be ordered.
The 8 Shaft loom is a rare find as they made very few of them. Many years later, they started making the wooden version as a Craft Loom, both in 4 and 8 Shaft and also in wider weaving widths.
For it's age... this one is in exceptional condition. The warp beam is converted for use as a plain beam.
Loom comes with:
A few extra flat steel heddles
15 Dent Reed
2 Stick Shuttles
