<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 90872, member: 44"]The 3rd pic in reply #21 seems to show a manufacturer's logo in the middle of the door catch/clasp or whatever it is hardware. I have tried to edited the pic in hopes of seeing it better. By cropping, focusing, zooming and inverting the colors, I believe I can make out the letter "S" imposed on circle(s). No doubt there are other things, letters, ... possibly around the circle that I can't make out. If the logo was more visible, there is a slight possibility the hardware maker could be IDed with hopes of better dating the piece. I am including edited pics of the best I can do with the logo. I can't spot anything unusual with the butt hinge hardware other then it looks like stamped steel. If it was a cast iron butt hinge then it would probably date before 1880 when cast iron butt hinges were discontinued.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]23084[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]23085[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
