    Default screws and hinges circa 1800

    Does anyone know of a source for reproduction (or original) brass hinges and screws circa 1800. I'm restoring a tea caddy and it has one broken hinge which is not surprising seeing a botched 'repair' used inch and a quarter long modern screws instead of the half inch originals.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Graeme Brown will likely have some suitable hinges and screws (steel, not brass for c1800).
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Thanks WW, I was hoping you would answer. The remaining original screws on the caddy are steel and I remember you pointing this out on another thread when someone asked about brass screws with brass hinges.
    Cheers,

    Thanks for jogging my memory about GB, WW. I'll be in Melbourne next week and will look in there.
