Early Door Hinges


In early days, things around the house and farm were handmade if at all possible. That went for door hinges to. If you look hard enough you will find that some were made of leather, some of metal, some of "whatever would work". The one in the pictured is a typical one used back in the early 1800's. It was probably made by a local blacksmith or a person with blacksmith skills on the farm. It did the trick and look good to.
