Searching for some mid 60's cabinet hinges

[brett930]

I'm in the middle of resurrecting cabinets in my 1966 Baravan Safari, and am looking for some extra hinges to match what I already have.

It's frustrating, because I only need four of them, but can't find any.

Does anyone have, or know where I could get some hinges like the ones shown in the photos?

They're a pressed metal, and while I can find ones that are sort-of similar, I can't find these exact ones!

I've tried antique furniture dealers, Grahame Brown Antiques in melbourne, who specialise in cabinet hardware, lots of different google searches... but no luck.

Does anyone have any kicking around in their spares box that they're willing to sell?

HELP! :-) 

Thanks in advance

Brett

Knobs & Brass Unit 17/10 Hallam S Rd, Hallam VIC 3803 Phone: [phone] have them. I purchased some a few years back and although they were not quite the offset height I wanted a piece of flat brass underneath sorted that out.

Thanks,  I'm in Berwick, so that's not too far away from me.  I've dropped them an email with some photos for starters... hopefully they'll have what I'm after!

G’day Brett,

If that fails you can kill a bit of time going through the links in the cupboard hardware section of the “Vintage restoration parts suppliers information “ section on the forum.
vintagecaravans.proboards.com/thread/5310/vintage-restoration-parts-suppliers-information

A good link to start with could be the “Goods and Chattels “ one.

Let us know how you go 😉

Thanks, I'll give that a go.   It does seem however that all the "new" reproduction ones, such as sold by Goods and Chattels are made by Tradco (https://www.tradco.com.au/products/cabinet-fittings) and so every retailer has much the same options.


I suspect my best chance will be to find some of a van that's been/being wrecked, otherwise it'll be settling for a similar reproduction hinge.

Good on you Brett, a man after my own heart.
Old parts are harder to find but there is a certain satisfaction when you succeed.

Are these a bit closer to what you are after ?

Unfortunately, those aren't right either.  They're very similar to the Tradco Square offset hinge, which you can see is different to mine.

Oh well, on with the search!

Good news, found someone who had some hinges from a stripped Baravan, so I'm all good to go!

Years ago I found that the antiques shops and markets in Daylesford a good place to source such things. May still be worth a drive out there. Has anybody been there lately?
