Take ''piano hinges" for intttanve !
If you would inspect the finish of our hinges you would discover a big difference.
1. The knuckles are uniform and in correct alignment.
2. The screw holes are evenly spaced and accurately countersunk, and not dragged or
huiTcd out of shape.
3. The surface is smooth—not wavy. — All beveled edges are uniform.
4. Every hinge is tissue wrapped before packing to protect the fine hand bufled finish.
We'd like to show you. May we submit samples and prices?
