Craigslist quilting frames
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.

Very low cost and your seller knows nothing about them. Buyer beware. Maybe some folks on the list can be more helpful in identifying the pieces to see if everything you need is actually there....my guess is no, but I don't use a frame for quilting (though I do have one).

I don't know a lot about quilting frames but I believe these frames were hung from the ceiling and quilters sat around the edges of it and then when need be, it could be raised back towards the ceiling to get it out of the way of everyday living.

Yep! The seller says they have "metal hanging pieces"....

I think I HAVE to buy them now. They might have some historical value.
I have an acquaintance who volunteers at a textile museum.
If nothing else, I will see if they could use them.
ETA: thanks for all the replies! I knew I could count on you all!
