Craigslist quilting frames

Crossing my fingers she still has them in the morning. I found the ad too late to call tonight.
I have an idea of how I might use one as a sort of canopy/headboard in our spare room...

Can anyone make heads or tails of these? I'm tempted to call about them because the price is so low, but I can't even identify them!

Thanks for looking and anything you can add.

This had to be a hanging quilting frame.....they hung from the ceiling and were ratcheted up to the ceiling when not in use. There's no historical value, probably, as there were hundreds and hundreds of these things all over the US, used as recently as the 1980s that I personally saw in Alabama and Oklahoma.
If you have chairs with a back that isn't rounded or that have a short ladder back, then you also use those to support the frame instead of hanging it.
See if you can get it for less; I wouldn't pay even $15 if I could help it.

Wow, call on them! make sure that they are all there. I don't see the legs in the pictures. I just bought a new one for $130.00. It took about an hour and 2 arguments with the DH to get it assembled, but worth it. Ask if the instructions are included. That is a terific price.
