What type of hinge is shown in this photograph?

http://www.langille.org/hinge.jpg

I want to get more similar to that.. The shops I have tried haven't seen it
before. If I know the name, that would be a starting point.

Thanks.

Can't help you with what it's called, was it me I'd have them custom-built,
but that's a cool hinge. Am I right in thinking that the fixed half
has a slot (probably L shaped) instead of a round hole for the pin?

wwhardware.com MIGHT have something.

I had a look through. On DSL it took a while to download. I can imagine
how horrific it might be for those on dial up. I gave up after a few
downloads and emailed them the URL to the picture.

They got back to me and said they have nothing like it.

It is an old awning window hinge, not sure that is the market-place name.
Common in construction in the 1920's.

Not sure you are going to find it.

Do you need to replace or did you have another use for some of them?

Interesting. I'm quite sure the house is less than 40 years old.

We need to replace. When we moved in, the window was nailed shut. One
half of one hinge is missing, which mean the window can't open, without
falling to the floor. Part of the problem is space around the window is
limited.

You just need one hinge? Email me a measured drawing
and I'll see if I can whack one out for you. Put [Hinge] in
the subject line.

Just in case you had not figure this out, you can use a standard butt hinge
on each side of the window at the top. Based on your picture you will have
to carve a section of the crown molding above the window. A screen door
hook attached to the window and the receiver eyebolt attached to a joist
above will hold it open when you need it to be so.

I am amazed at the fact your house is only 40 years old and had these
hinges.

I have those hinges on my 5 Anderson basement windows and my house was
built 20 years ago. The hinges and latch plate are both on the top and
bottom of the casing and allow the window to be taken out and flipped to
either swing open from the top (awning) or bottom (hopper) without using
any tools. Anderson still sells them with these hinges.

I had a look at the PDF. It didn't contain any details on the hinges.

What product do you have? And they contain this hinge?

Same hinge, but the mounting is different. Instead of face mounted, they
are mortised and screwed to the sides of the window and frame.
