{INV#SS1067-MS} Rare. Antique Salesman Sample Spring Door Hinge. From the Chicago Spring Butt Co., Chicago, Illinois. Circa 1890-1915. Metal spring door hinge on mahogany wood to be used as a salesman sample. This salesman sample would have been used by a travelling salesman to show to potential customers, or in a hardware or general store for display so you could test the durability of the hinge. Salesman samples were always very well designed in order to demonstrate the functionality of the item and to appear flawless and appealing to potential customers. This salesman sample is fully functional and in good working order. The floating piece on the left side of the hinge swings both ways to demonstrate the quality of their hinges. Excellent condition but appears that it may have been refinished at some point. There is some very slight pitting on the little brass emblem on the front. Hinge has some surface rust but still strong & in working order. Beautiful finish. Extremely rare to find these salesman sample hinges - this is one of the nicest examples of a salesman sample spring door hinge that I have ever seen. Would make a great addition to any antique collection. MEASURES APX- 12" IN. HEIGHT.

CONDITION:
- Appears to have possibly been refinished at some point
- Very slight pitting on brass emblem
- Surface rust on the metal spring hinge
