A Pro looking for help (AGAIN)
I have tried all my sources, gone through all my parts and have struck out every time. Anyone have two of these they can sell me or trade me for something?
I promise to make it worth your while...

I should add to my search request...
This is going in a 1961 Safari. The goal is for it to be 100% restored(restore means to return to original brand new condition) without looking brand new. A new hinge will stick out like a sore thumb. Great pains have been taken to make all the new stuff look as if it has been there for 51 years. See the cabinet and the door, which is the original and which is brand new?
I know for fact someone has a bunch of these in a coffee can. I have some real good stuff to trade.
Help a brother out.

Mine look alike but are all brass colored, does that work for you? They certainly have patina  . They are off a spice cabinet that I'm not putting back...

I actually think they are silver colored with a grime haze.

Frank--
I think I have some hinges in a coffee can somewhere in my barn that I removed from my '61 Safari. I'll start lookin' tomorrow, but it is a big barn and a small can............
If I find 'em you can have them all, along with whatever else might be in the can.

Frank, I have 1 hinge and since they come in pairs I imagine the other is in my well organized storage. I'll keep an eye open for it. How soon do you need them? The hinge is black with the brass pin ends.

Good to know they got there. I often wonder if the pony express still runs to the U.S.A.

Well Frank,
I couldn't find that elusive can of parts, but I did pick up another trailer. A 1952 Boles Aero 16 footer. Only 275 miles from home. If you carry enough tools and spare parts you can tow anything home. It "scares" them into being good.
It's gonna be a complete gut and rebuild job so I will save all the misc. parts. Must be something you will need in there. I haven't had the time to go completely through it yet to see if there are any "treasures".
I was kinda disappointed to get such a "new" trailer, but I have to take what I can find.
Still looking for that 40's Boles.
Sam
