The current owner of this loom found it at the Brasstown Flee Market in Clay County, North Carolina.

Information obtained from the seller was that the loom had been part of a truckload of items purchased at an estate auction in Waverly, Iowa, by a North Carolina antique dealer. The truck was unloaded in North Carolina, except for a special order that was headed for Atlanta, Georgia. Once in Atlanta, the loom was found buried behind the special order, and was eventually returned to North Carolina. Attempts to identify the Iowa estate from which the loom originally came, have not yet been successful.
