Help Identifying a Door Hinge!

Hi all,

I've been trying to locate a particular door hinge. I've been to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware, but I have not been able to identify this particular door hinge finish.

It's a standard 3 1/2" sized residential door hinge, with 1/4" radius on the corners. The shade is a kind of dull brass-ish looking finish, but it is not brass and it is not silver or nickel shade. Actually, to me it looks like some kind of a zinc coating. The finish has some faint pinkish areas along with the more green/yellow dull brass-looking areas.

Anyway, I bet I can identify it if I find who manufactured it. The trouble is, I've tried online and at all the stores, and I can't find it. The stamp on the hinge says "Lawrence, U.S.A." on it. Above that text, there is a logo symbol. It is an L and a B with a square around it. I will try to duplicate it here:

+---+
| |B |
| +- |
+---+

So the "B" kind of rests atop the "L" inside the square. Anybody know where this hinge came from?

Thanks for any help,

NanoGuy

 

Google for "Lawrence Brothers" and "hinge" and I think you'll find what you need.

 

Thanks. Your info got me back on the trail, but alas, the trail ended with a halt:

2001 - resold; renamed "Lawrence Hardware"
