These hinges would be great for renovating an old house needing old cast iron hinges.
- Signed hinges were the best made in the time period and the makers marked them with pride.
- These hinges often were used for outdoor shutters
- They were made from heavy duty cast iron.
- These are in good condition with very little to no wear on the pins.
- There are no cracks in them
- These hinges are ready to go and swing for the next 100 years.
- Good old cast iron is stronger and harder than the new soft reproduction iron of today
- Likely cast in the last 1850's to the early 1900’s.
- The casting is nicely textured like a set of cast hinges over 150 years should have
- I stripped all the paint, wire brushed them and washed with water to prepare for paint
- They are clean cast iron.
- The hinges were cleaned and oiled to prevent rust
- I added a few drops of oil to the pins so they will be ready to use.
- They are ready for paint. Just wash with soap and water to remove the oil.
- The hinges are marked “G MAYER PATENT 4”
- They are 3" long at the pin
- 4 3/8" wide laying open
- 5/8” thick at the barrel when closed.
