The H-61 Snipe Hinge: Where American Craftsmanship Began.

Before the machine age and the industrial revolution, there was the snipe hinge. Often called “cotter pin” or “staple” hinges, these are the simplest and earliest form of hardware found on 17th and 18th-century American furniture.

Our H-61 hinges are hand-forged from soft iron and thinned to delicate, historically accurate proportions. Whether you are restoring a primitive blanket chest or building a period-correct trunk, these hinges provide the authentic movement and rustic aesthetic that modern hardware simply cannot replicate.

• Hand-forged by Horton’s Forge.

• Period Correct: Perfect for early American reproductions.

• Sold as a Pair: Ready for your next heirloom project.
