CLEAN Pair 4"x4" Antique Vintage Old Reclaimed Salvaged Chrome Steel Exterior Entry Door Hinges

Rare, heavy-duty, antique door hinges made by, "Stanley Mfg. Co.," of New Britain, CT around the first half of the previous century. Each hinge is made of solid, heavy, thick steel.

Originally, all hinges were chrome plated, but much of the plating wore off over the years leaving them with a nice, distressed finish. The degree of plating varies from hinge to hinge, see  the 2 group photos to compare.

We removed the hinges from 3 heavy, Art Deco style doors that we salvaged from NYC.  At the point of salvage, the hinges were painted and dirty (see last photo). Since then, we removed the paint, and cleaned them to the best of our ability.

Considering their age, the hinges are in great condition. They  all have the typical nicks and scratches that you would expect to find on old, used hinges, but there are no breaks, cracks, bends, or gouges. We greased the insides of the  knuckles before sliding the pins back in. Now, the hinges open and close  easily and most of the pins slide out with minimal effort.

There are new no hinges available today that are this well-made  and heavy-duty. Today's steel can't compare to the steel produced during the  time these hinges were made.
