I am refurbishing an old chest for my granddaughter and need to
replace the hinges. Here are a couple of pictures of what I need. I
have visited both Lowes and The Home Depot, but they do not carry
anything like the ones I need, not even their special order catalogs.
I did a Google search, but to not avail. If anyone has a source for
old hardware, please let me know.

Many thanks in advance,

You beat me to that one, Dave. You might also try Rockler
(www.rockler.com), Woodcraft (www.woodcraft.com), Horton Brasses
(http://www.horton-brasses.com), Harware Source (www.hardwaresource.com)
and many more. Do a google search for brass hinges.

Settler's Hardware in Houston might have something you need. They don't
have a website, unfortunately.

One thing I forgot - you may need to antique or pickle the hinges if you
can't find them that way from the mfgr. If you fine the correct design and
don't like the "shiney new", post back, I've got several formulas for
coloring brass.

"Ball & Ball Hardware Reproductions" might be another place to try.

Ray,

I have to ask, what is wrong with the hinges on the piece?

From your pictures they appear to be solid brass and in good condition.
If they are solid brass, all you have to do is buff out the surface and
you will have hinges that look brand new.

It seems unlikely you will findthe exact match. Thats the bad news, the good
news is with a sheet of brass, a file ,scraper and hacksaw it is not that
difficult to make your own using the originals as patterns .......mjh

I'm in the UK, however, these guys are brilliant in terms of stock, choice and readiness to export to the UK.
