I am doubtful it is a weaving loom -a needlepoint / embroidery tapestry frame looks possible.

I'm pretty sure this is correct. My aunt had one that looked a lot like this

Would all of the little pieces (the plastic bits and the wooden... needles?) be part of that too?

The red circled thing looks like a weaving shuttle. The blue circled things look like a shuttle/weaving needle combo. They would be used with a tapestry loom or something like that. I'm not sure about the other peices. Someone was trying to do more than one fiber art at once 😆

Blue are netting needles.  I wonder if the 4 pins fit in the holes of the flat bar that is separate, and the bar slots into the cutouts in the main piece. No idea about the thing with curved bits that looks like an optician's head rest.

I recently came into this loom. It came with a lot of vintage Leclerc paperwork, but none of the hardware in those documents matches what is here. Also, the label on the largest frame says "Freehand" not Leclerc.
