What is the difference in these hinges that all look alike but
range in cost by a factor of 4?

Well, let's see-of the 30" long piano hinges they have in the Detroit
area sto

one is 1-1/16" wide, steel with brass or nickel plate $6.66
one is 1-1/2" wide, steel with brass or nickel plate $7.83
one is 1-1/2" wide, stainless steel
$18.96

The shorter hinges follow a similar pattern. So, except for the width
and the material, they are identical, just like you said...





The mystery of the ages has been solved!
