This exterior door hinge is mounted to the interior face of the door. It
has a right angle bend to it, forming a flange about 1/4" wide. The
mating half is flat and mortised into the jamb.

I would like to source new hinges of this exact size and style, but I
don't know what to search for. Is there a name for this particular style
of hinge?

Another place to look - some look close.

If all else fails, check with an architectural salvage place, if you
have one. Do you know how old the hinges are?

They're an offset hinge and I've not seen one in like 50+ years other
than the couple of pairs that have that were taken off some doors in the
old farmhouse here--they were used in several places but are of ca. 1915
vintage. Lots of luck in finding a current source--I've no ideas where
to tell you to try.

Oh, maybe some of the preservation/restoration sites (but they'll
undoubtedly be priced at a premium if find them there, either)???

Thanks, and note that McMaster is a frame-based website (I think that's
the right term) so sending a URL will not take the viewer (me) to the
same thing you were looking at. In this case, your link and Chairman's
link took me to the same page.

That said, it does seem like "half-surface" is a useful search term.

House was built in 1952. It's likely looking that I will be re-using the
old hinges. I can take them off for refinishing. Just thought if I could
readily buy new, I'd do it.

Thanks. Offset seems a good word, but a google image search for offset
hinge wasn't fruitful. As I mentioned in another response, house was
built in 1952. These are definitely odd. Just noticed this evening that
although each half has four mounting holes, the pattern is different. I
guess I'll be reworking the originals. Probably better than what I could
buy now anyway.

What about "step hinge"?

Using that term, I get Google Images results that kinda-sorta look close to
your photograph.

There are some online architectural salvage web sites. San Diego has
one that you could spend an entire day wondering in the store. Might
send the photo to one and ask.

Oh, in this thread, I found the name of what I need for a furniture
door. Ball catch latch.

Looks like half mortise/half lap hinge. From 1930's-50's. Restoration
places usually have them. Installation is usually paired with glass/
hollow brass door knobs. Have a few pairs, but I used it for backup.
Can't remember who made it. However, if you strip the paint you may
find who manufactured it. Ones I have were diamond shaped mark and
mfr's name on it.

Hey, I think this could be it, found by searching "half surface hinge."

Wish they would show an end view. But the hole patterns are correct.

Better NOT to refinish the old ones. Give the new one a patina; dip
and hang over vinegar in a closed container. May take a while though.

I ordered the "oil-rubbed bronze" finish. That should go with my new
scheme. If they don't match what I have (from what I can tell, they
will) then I'll return them, and just sand blast and paint the old ones.

The hinge is a half surface, if it were mortised in the door and
surfaced on the jamb, it would be called a half mortise. The terms are
often misapplied, so check both. You will probably need to work with an
order desk or commercial hardware supplier as I doubt they will be on
the shelf at the Borg.
