This 1800s-era tape loom is a smaller version of the coverlet loom and was used to make tape or belts, which were used in harnesses and saddles, among other things. The metal reed which leans against the end of the loom is 3 inches wide and allows for 12 threads per inch or EPI, ends per inch. Rollers or beams in the front and back have materials to which the warp was attached. The creator of this loom is unknown.
