- Wrought iron strap hinge.Tapers from roughly 2.4" to 0.8" high with rounded end. Thickness tapers from 0.38" to 0.11". Iron carriage bolt, washer, and square nut through one of the holes, with overall length of 2.75". Hinge hole wrapped around and welded together. Perhaps a little evidence that overlap of weld might be about 10.5" from hinge end since is definite difference in thickness at that point. Fair amount of pitting corrosion on outside surfaces, both front and back. Three holes close together near hinge eye. Three other holes spaced further apart throughout rest of strap. Hole at very end seems to be slightly smaller in diameter than other five. Hole second from small end has worn recessed area around it on front surface. From hinge end, first, second, and fourth holes have slightly chamfered and or worn surfaces around their perimeters.
