have kitchen cabinets that have European style hinges which I need
to replace. I am having trouble identifying the manufacturer, Does
anybody recognize this hinge brand?

I have been told it could be Mepla. Looking at their web site, I
can't
find a hinge with the same hole pattern. Any ideas who made this
hinge
or sells one with the same hole pattern. Blum hinges use a different
hole pattern.

Depends on the age of the hinge. That picture seems to indicate
a pretty standard "clip top" Euro hinge, which at least a dozen
companies might make. The hole pattern is nothing special.

You can use almost any euro hinge with a 35mm hole and move on.

I wouldn't get hung up with Mepla, but if you can source them, use
Mepla. Blum, Salice, etc,etc would work fine...

Thanks. Based on the date code, the hinge was made in 1980. Most of
the hinges I have seen use the Blum footprint. No big deal but I was
tring to avoid drilling 80 new holes, If I have to, I will,

I believe Mepla hinges are made in China. In the picture it looks like
it says "Made in Austria". I'd look at the Grass hinges as I think
they're Austrian made.

One comment on that:

Trying to screw a new hinge into an old hole might
or might not work. The screw holes have probably
"wallowed out" and using a new hole pattern might
be a better thing to do anyway.
