Swung by the local flea market and found these. Not sure what they would have been used for. Seems too heavy for a chest. Anyone have ideas on what these could have been used on? Cast brass or bronze. 12" combo square for size comparison.

Interesting. Offhand I have only seen that shape as a gate, or large door hinge, I think it's the brass that sounds weird, but think about it if that were a big brass padlock, you wouldn't think it out of place on an outdoor gate or door.
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

I would say boat hardware

I don't know the original use, but I am pretty sure you suck. Cool find.

So the guy I got them from mentioned that they were found hanging up in a barn here in Kentucky so a horse stable would be very feasible.
Boat hardware was my first thought. Antique ice chests used shorter hinges and if they had a long strap, the other end were mostly butt style to fit narrow frame work. I am thinking that they may look nice on a dutch style tool chest. |
