These hinges work well on brief cases, suitcases, and small trunks, which is how they were being used in the factory where we bought them.
Measuring 3.25 inches long by 1.125 (1 and 1/8) inches wide, and they have a 'bump' on them that serves as a foot for the case when stood on end.
Made in the 1930s, original old stock. These are not reproductions. Available in a limited supply and when they're gone they're gone.
Only nickel available - sold out of brass. Sold by the pair (two complete hinges) for $8.00, which includes postage to any USA location.

1-1/2" wide. Choose brass-plated steel or black anodized steel.

LEATHER HINGES
Great for some older boxes
Sometimes you just flat out don't want a big metal hinge on a primitive box, so we have these pieces of leather that you can use instead. Nail one end to the top of your box,
the other end to the bottom, as if you really needed us to tell you that. You're smart. You get it. What you get here is a pair of rectangles,
each measuring about an inch wide by 2 and 3/8" long, die cut from a single layer of 8 oz cowhide.
Leather Hinges $5 per pair USA shipping included HNG08
Please remember that our minimum order size is $5 - so you've got to purchase more than just a pair of these thingamabobs.
