There is a 1939  (??)  "Macomber" loom on Ebay.   The castle looks like a Macomber, but the rest doesn't.   It seems to have a fly shuttle on the front, and you can see the typical jacks on one side (who knows what's on the other side) but the frame is very different.  So, is this a model I've not seen before, or did someone take a Macomber and modify it - a lot?

Here is the listing:

I saw this loom also, I call Eddie at Macomber and ask him to look up a B7 #55 loom. I hope to hear from him tomorrow. One of my questions is how big is this loom. No I am not going to UT after it.

Great photo.  I want my Macomber to have mountains like that in the background.  I've got #61 from 1940 and it is very close to what they look like today.  Can't wait to hear the verdict!

Dear whpenfield,

The size is 54" tall, 45" wide, and the base is 86" long with a 19 3/4 overhang on each end for a total of 106" long.

I didn't even know they made a B7 model!   And doesn't the number 55 mean that they made at least 55 of them?
