Happy Holidays To All and to All a question.
I am looking for a sorce for 3 1/2 ” half lap passage door hinges, any one out there have a site in mind that may help me along on this long road of restoring a 1917 Prarie school home in Wisconsin. I am also a builder and have not been able to locate a place to get this style of hinges for some of my customers. Any help would be great . Thank you all . Rick

If you're talking about half-mortise Craftsman hinges, here's a source:
http://www.houseofantiquehardware.com/re_door_hinge5.htm
This website is refering to them as "Gothic" for some reason, but this is the style I've seen used on a lot of Craftsman homes. I think the darker finish is more appropriate, and if you're really a purist, a japan finish is the way to go.
There may be other sources as well, this is just the first I came up with via a search. Additionally, I see them on Ebay from time to time.

Ragnar,
Thank you for the site. They do have the hinges I am looking for , there the one's above the Gothic, they are square and in 4 finishes. In my home all are the antique copper. Thanks again. Rick.
Rick,
Those are some beautiful hinges; I'm glad I was able to help you find them.
The "oxidized copper" description they are using (with the copper and black patterns) was exactly what I meant by "japanned". This finish looks especially nice on stained wood.
Maybe you can post some pictures when you're done with your project.
Regards,
Ragnar
Ragnar,
Sorry for the delay . Had a gang around here for xmas and new year's. Somehow the toilet in the guest bath got broke so now we are thinking this is the sign to gut the room and add that shower,new sink and toilet we have been talking about for the last 4 years,wish I knew who the culpret was ,I'd send them the bill?. AAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the joys of being a remodeling carpenter in a old house. Will it ever end...........NO. Have you ever seen cabinet hinges in the half mortise style. I am looking for these also and they do not seem to be in the web site you sent me any ideas on this would be a big help. Thanks again. Rick
