Default cast iron hinges

Just bought a box of 4" cast iron butts - very expensive. Disappointed
to find that they aren't the real thing but sort of antique effect cast
iron. i.e. they are cast iron but are crude and badly made. Is it no
longer possible to get the genuine article? Proper CI hinges were
precisely made, easy to fit and lasted many times longer than any
alternative. Seems that everything nowadays is just fake crap.

cheers

Jacob
